Every culture has almost a religion in the world. A religion is a set of beliefs, views and cultural characteristics that completely reflect culture and connect humanity. Religion continues to influence people of any culture for a long time. In the books they read, in the places they go or even in the thoughts they have in their heads, religion is an important phenomenon for them. In world literature there are many books written on this topic. One of the books is 'Candide'. In this essay we will analyze what Voltaire's portrayal of religious figures in "Candide" looks like. In this book Voltaire portrays different religious groups and expresses his opinions about these religious groups. Voltaire often criticizes the religious figures of the time in 'Candide'. His criticism of religion emerges throughout the story. There are many figures that Voltaire criticizes and one of them is Jacques the Anabaptist. This is Voltaire's satire. Anabaptists are Christians who participated in the radical reform of the 16th century. During this time, the Anabaptists made a claim that resisted the Roman Catholic Church, stating that baptism was reserved only for believers. Voltaire said that Jacques was a good Anabaptist in "Candide" even though he was never baptized. The Anabaptist represents a solution or point of view of suffering. Anabaptist is a member of a 16th century radical Christianity in which is a Reformation sect that cares about Candide and Pangloss. Pangloss tells Candide that "private misfortunes contribute to the general good, so that the more private misfortunes there are, the more we find that all is well" (p. 31). The kindness of the Anabaptist that Candide meets demonstrates..... . half of the sheet......state. There is an ironic situation that one of the fundamental principles of the Jesuits is social justice. Pangloss and his religious authorities say that 'he received this gift from a very learned Franciscan friar who owed it to a marquise, who took it from a Jesuit' (p. 38). This shows that Voltaire's view towards them is selfish and haughty. However, it is suggested that the Jesuits see themselves as better than other religious sects. In conclusion, in 'Candide', there are many attacks and criticisms of religion. Voltaire criticizes religious figures in different ways. He attacked religious figures by showing an example of them judging the people. He criticized the corruption of people working in religious ministry by writing about the life of the Pope's daughter and attacked the complexity of religion by showing the benefits of religion.
