John Locke is an enlightenment thinker who supported religious tolerance and freedom of expression.
In 1664, the Maryland assembly passed the Toleration Act, which allowed religious freedom in the colony to all Christians.
The Toleration Act of 1649, enacted by the Maryland Assembly, was a landmark law that granted religious freedom to all Christians in the colony of Maryland, allowing them to practice their faith without persecution. It was designed to protect the rights of Catholics in a predominantly Protestant environment and aimed to promote religious harmony. However, the act did not extend protections to non-Christian religions, reflecting the limitations of religious tolerance at the time. This legislation was an important step toward greater religious freedom in colonial America.

Napoleon supported several ideas of the Enlightenment. First of all, he supported education, increasing educational oppurtunites for those in need of financial aid through scholarships and construction of schools. He even created some schools that offered primary education for girls. He also supported religious toleration with the Concordat of 1801 where he managed to maintain peace with the pope while still preserving religious toleration in France. He also granted toleration to Protestants, as well as encouraging Jews to assimilate into French society and promising them equal treatment if they agreed to serve France. He codified French laws, creating a reasonable Code that promised the Enlightnment ideals of individual freedom, religoius toleration, equality before the law. He also supported meritocracy instead of the Old Regime's emphasis on bloodline and wealth.
