Voltaire, his name nearly a byword for the French Enlightenment itself, died unsaved. Remember well: "He that believeth on him is not condemned:  but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18, KJV)

Voltaire's influence surpassed him in death: One of his sayings, "To Philosophy!", was nailed onto one of the atheistic Temple of Reasons during the French Revolution. In addition, Charles de Gaulle, when pardoning left-wing activist and philosopher [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] during the May 1968 riots, cited Voltaire as his reason, saying "One does not arrest Voltaire." (which is false, as Voltaire had in fact been arrested and spent nearly a year at the Bastille,<ref>[http://www.thedivineconspiracy.org/Z5260P.pdf Excerpt from Paul Johnson's ''Intellectuals''] on thedivineconspiracy.org</ref> and in fact his pen-name "Voltaire" had originated from one of his prison sentences.)
