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)

(John 3:18, KJV) After his death, [[Mozart]] was reported to have declared after a performance "The archfiend Voltaire has finally kicked the bucket."
