Maybe by the numbers. But the most important works were done 2400 years ago, by Aristotle, who based everything he believed solely on reason. Even in the Renaissance, a time when the Roman Catholic Church was at its most corrupt point, a time when pagans were coming out of hiding, and a time when people needed something else to rely on besides the church taxes, men like Wycliffe and Huss denounced every bit of the Church. Petrach, the father of humanism, pretty much began what you have stated. Rousseau and Voltairre expanded on his works and the works of these two Frenchmen can be found throughout our own Constitution.
Nothing has EVER been based anything solely on reason. All are biased.
