Voltaire believed that education was an important thing for everyone to have (not women, but all men) so that they could be free of religion and understand with reason. He believed that the Catholic Church was greedy and wrong in its teachings. He thought that god did not make everything happen but that there was a reason behind everything in nature. He believed that education was the way to understanding the truth and the way to be free of organized religion and to understand the truth (REASON).
