I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Reason, is in fact, Subjectivism, or as I've recently taken to calling it, opinion-based ideology. Your ideology is not an philosophical system unto itself, but rather another manifestation of Subjectivism made possible by subjective (opinion-based) metaphysics, epistemology and ethics as defined by philosopher Ayn Rand.
Many people support a modified version of Subjectivism every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Subjectivism which is widely used today is often called yet another "Ism", and many of its supporters are not aware that it is basically a Subjectivist variant, based on mere opinions and feelings.
There really is the ideology of Reason, and there are people practising it, but it is just a part of the objective philosophical system. Reason is the kernel: Reason is man’s tool of knowledge, the faculty that enables him to perceive the facts of reality.
Reason is an essential part of an objective philosophical system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete philosophical system. Reason have to be used in combination with other layers of objective philosophy: the whole system is basically Objectivism. All the so-called "ideologies of Reason" are really variants of Subjectivism!
