An Illustrated Brief History of Western Philosophy, ch. 15

In what seems to be the shortest chapter yet, we have the enlightenment. This chapter centered primarily on Rousseau and more specifically his 'Social Contract'. The oft sited story of the French revolution where the people enthroned an actress as "the goddess of reason" in the Cathedral of Notre Dame is mentioned. I had not heard that priests retrained as deists and went out as Apostles of Reason.
