Theophilanthropism

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 10: Swastika to Zyrianovsk and Index, p. 166

Theophilanthropism, a deistical system of religion drawn up under the French Directory in 1796, and designed to take the place of Christianity, which had been abolished by the Convention. God, virtue, and the immortality of the soul were the main elements of the creed; the services were simple to baldness. The system finally disappeared about 1802.
