All you need do is establish the Feast of the Goddess Reason, reform the calendar, and you could be Robespierre’s secretary. I’d say you were pretty devout in your worship of the enlightenment.

Thank goodness for it, by the way! There was certainly no independent thought before it, no self-governance, no science, nothing but darkness all around until a group of coffehouse intellectuals proclaimed the dawn of reason in the west.

Vulgar worship of success, as I said.

The Reign of Terror was the legitimate offspring of the Enlightenment.
