The correct option is "They argued for religious tolerance."

Denis Diderot was a decisive figure of the Enlightenment as a French writer, philosopher and encyclopedist. Recognized for his intellectual drive and erudition, for his critical spirit as well as his exceptional genius, he marked milestones in the history of each of the fields in which he participated: he laid the foundations of bourgeois drama in theater, he revolutionized the novel with Jacques fataliste o The religious and the dialogue with the paradox of the comedian, and, on the other hand, created criticism through its halls. Together with Jean-Baptiste, Rond d'Alembert encouraged, supervised the writing, edited and compiled one of the most important cultural works of the century: the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, a masterpiece composed of 72 000 articles, of which about 6000 were contributed by Diderot himself.
