Answer
Bodin primarily critiqued the religious wars of his time rather than supporting them. He believed that religious diversity could coexist peacefully within a state through a strong, centralized monarchy that enforced religious toleration. Bodin argued that religious unity was not necessary for political stability and that the pursuit of religious uniformity through violent conflict was destructive and counterproductive.
