Let’s Play a Game
1.) “Women are subordinate to

should have
enough good sense
to let people
pursue their own
economic interests
without

believe in them.
4.) Social Contract

All men are born free,
but everywhere they
are in chains.

Christian and non-
Christian should be
accepted, as religious
zeal is the sole cause of
persecution, harm,
and repression of
fellow humans.”
6.)

“Christianity
rose from
natural causes,
not miracles
and piety.”
7.)

to use his or her
reason.”
9.)

just cost one innocent
French Protestant his
life.”
