I thought Boswell's description of Voltaire's religious beliefs was very interesting (I guess I'd always thought he was an atheist)
Yep, Voltaire, like Fritz, was a Deist. I have a biography of Diderot, who was a straight-up atheist, coming up next on my reading list which I don't have time for because salon is so busy omg!
