The practice of submitting to Truth, Reason and Reality (if that is what God is, if He/She/It exists) is capable of both being a philosophy and a religion.
To start a Cult of Reason and The Supreme Being that is mutually indivisible is therefore logically possible and politically desirable.
Imagine: a religion and philosophy capable of appealing to both atheists and monotheists ....

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
