 Cult of Reason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cult of Reason (French: Culte de la Raison) was a religion based on deism devised during the French Revolution by Jacques Hébert, Pierre Gaspard Chaumette and their supporters, in opposition to the Cult of the Supreme Being instituted by Maximilien Robespierre.
The Cult of Reason was intended to complement, in the religious sphere, the radical opposition of the enragés to Robespierre's political project.
In particular, Chaumette and Hébert objected to Robespierre's emphasis on the Supreme Being as a back-handed return to theism, and instead advocated the worship of Reason, personified as a goddess.

A new Parisian outburst, organized by the radical journalist Jacques-René Hébert and his extremist colleagues, forced the convention to order the arrest of 29 Girondin delegates and the Girondin ministers Pierre Henri Hélène Marie Lebrun-Tondu and Étienne Clavière on June 2.

 Georges Jacques Danton
His position during the autumn of 1793 was that of a powerful supporter and inspirer, from without, of the government which he had been foremost in setting up.
The commune of Paris was now composed of men like Hébert and Pierre Gaspard Chaumette, to whom the restoration of any sort of political order was for the time indifferent.
They wished to push destruction to limits which even the most ardent sympathisers with the Revolution condemn, and which Danton condemned then, as extravagant and senseless.

Prior to the convening of the Estates General, she was writing political pamphlets; during the revolution, she formed one of the first women’s societies; and in October 1789 she approached the National Assembly to promote specific rights for women, including an exclusively women’s national theater.
This forgetfulness of the virtues of her sex led her to the scaffold." Clearly, Chaumette’s image of Olympe de Gouges fits into the “serial disaster” revolutionary rhetoric about women, and this pejorative image contributed to the deteriorating condition of women during the French Revolution.
Hufton provides similar testimony by politicians that women were disruptive in the legislative assemblies, preventing legislators from speaking, and among the ways in which Olympe de Gouges was “mixed up in the republic” was her eccentric presence in the legislature.
