   Voltaire's antisemitism was part and parcel of his enormous hatred   
   of Christianity:   
      
   "Ours [i.e., the Christian religion] is assuredly the most ridiculous, the   
   most absurd and the most bloody religion which has ever infected this world.   
   Your Majesty will do the human race an eternal service by extirpating this   
   infamous superstition" (letter to Frederick II, King of Prussia, dated 5   
   January 1767).
