About this Quote
Voltaire's quote is a criticism of the hypocrisy of Christians.

He is recommending that Christians should be setting an example of tolerance and approval, but instead they have been the most likely to maltreat and discriminate against those who are various. Voltaire's quote is a suggestion that we should aim to live up to the suitables of our faith, which we must be more tolerant and accepting of those who are various from us.
