Although Voltaire did not agree with Christianity and felt that it attributed to the problems in modern society, he still had great respect for their morality. However, he strongly felt that it was religious intolerance that caused many wars and many problems in the world today. He regarded intolerance as hypocritical to the Christian religion because the church prosecuted other Christians and exercised corruption, because intolerance was also a power struggle. He then goes to say that with tolerance, there have been no wars. Under the Christian law, all men and women are brothers and sisters, therefore, regardless of religion, individuals should be treated as such. He also notes that humans make mistakes and it is Christian to forgive them therefore, a tolerant, forgiving authority will be the one that carries on the will of God and keeps peace between the people.
