Mikado is correct.

The idea that Deism was ever mainstream is a stretch

It was certainly mainstream amongst a certain social class, and often did not actually involve rejecting Christianity in any serious sense (quite a few Anglican clergy of the 18th century could be described in those terms).

All philosophy was confined to the elite at that time, though.

Because everyone these days knows their Ayer from their Erasmus.
