Yeah, that is what I meant. I do not think you have to be a theist to observe self-evident truths such as freedom of religion.

However, rationalism has been infected by scientism as well.

Epistemological rationalism has been applied to other fields of philosophical inquiry. Rationalism in ethics is the claim that certain primary moral ideas are innate in humankind and that such first moral principles are self-evident to the rational faculty. Rationalism in the philosophy of religion is the claim that the fundamental principles of religion are innate or self-evident and that revelation is not necessary (see Deism). Since the end of the 1800s, however, rationalism has played chiefly an antireligious role in theology.
