May 1794 CE
Robespierre seeks to instill a spiritual resurgence in the French nation based on his Deist beliefs.
Accordingly, on May 7, 1794, Robespierre has a decree passed by the Convention that establishes an official religion, known historically as the Cult of the Supreme Being.
The notion of the Supreme Being is based on ideas that Jean-Jacques Rousseau had outlined in The Social Contract.
