Abstract

Toland (1670-1722) was a thinker who set himself the goal of fighting for freedom, religious tolerance and the Protestant succession to the throne of Great Britain. He wanted to show that there is nothing contrary to reason in Christianity and, therefore, every idea is accessible to all people, not excepting the poor and the illiterate. That way he was trying to destroy the power of religious hierarchies. Against the conservative attempts to use religion politically, he campaigned for «unity without uniformity»
