Leibniz wasn't a philosopher. All he did was start with a set of assumptions about what must be true and then build a system to connect them in a consistent way. That is closer to mathematics than philosophy. The point of philosophy is to investigate the assumptions. Christians can't be philosophers because of this.

He began his enquiry by critiquing the assumptions of the dominant philosophy of his time, Locke's empiricism:
>"Nothing is in the mind without being first in the senses," except for the mind itself.
