To be brave enough, in his time, to come out, as he did....was almost suicidal.
He was also a well known anti-Semite (against Jews) and he was fiercely racist.
"A tireless campaigner against injustice and advocate of religious and social tolerance, he was also fiercely anti-Semitic, describing the Jews as “an ignorant and barbarous people" and arguing that Africans are a separate species “as different from ours as the breed of spaniels is from that of greyhounds."

I don’t think it was that brave. He was active during The Enlightenment and was popular for his polemical writings against all manner of establishments.
@Geoffrey51 Sorry, Geof...you didn't read what I posted...and have little or no knowledge of Voltaire.
Have you ever been imprisoned and/or exiled for your writings? He was. I'd say he risked his well-being quite often.
Read...then comment.
@Robecology I’m that case I stand corrected.
