Personally speaking, I don't think it's historically accurate to make Newton to be a run-of-the-mill enlightenment hero. Newton was far more complex than that. It's a fact of history that Newton wrote more on religion than he did on natural science and he was no deist. Newton held rather radical and, for his time, heretical religious views.
Genius mathematician, though, of course.
