Longer Lasting Cult of Reason?

During the French Revolution, among other things a state atheistic religion called the Cult of Reason was introduced. Its tenets included "the perfection of mankind through truth and liberty, and its guiding principle to this goal was the exercise of reason." The cult was brought down by Robespierre so he could promote his Cult of the Supreme Being, and ultimately banned with the latter by Napoleon. However, what could stave off its banning, and what impact could it have?
 
The problem is that atheism was essentially promoted by some really radicals revolutionaries in the Club des Cordeliers, and generally opposed by other revolutionnaries : atheism was seen as an aristocratic, amoral if not immoral, practice as it denied the humanistic genius of peoples for an individualist disdain. Most of Jacobins went for the Cult of Supreme Being as it stressed a rational state of the world, not just materially but spiritually, on which the revolutionary ideal could be supported.

It doesn't help that the Cult of Reason was essentially a locally based maintenance, without real national structure and such on purpose, and while you didn't had that of a popular hostility (for the good reason it wasn't present where it would have created havoc), you had not any popular support as well.

I could, at best, seeing it surviving as a non-deist free-masonery.
