Start with the meaning
Voltairianism
the theories or practices of Voltaire characterized by a skeptical but deistic religious attitude, opposition to intolerance, and castigation of bigotry.; "Declarations of pan-Voltairianism will prove no panacea, but rather simply capture an aspirational bonhomie reflected in ‘unity’ marches that, however impressive, conceal seeds of future violent explosions given a still elusive and unfinished accounting of the broader equities at play."
