Explanation:

Right from the start, Voltaire's views on religion are expressed robustly. He was not an atheist, in part because he thought that some minimal belief in a deity was useful for social cohesion. Voltaire's God created the world, instilled in us a sense of good and evil, and then basically took a back seat.
