The french goal to weaken the power of religion over government was inspired by which enlightenment idea?
separation of powers
social contract
separation of church and state
natural rights

The correct answer is separation of church and state.

Indeed, the French have been victims of bloody religious wars throughout their history. The Albigensian Crusade crusade during the 13th century and  the wars of religion during the 16th Century are good examples of the brutality of such conflicts. It is only natural that Enlightenment philosophers theorized this principle.

The secular principle of laicité is derived from this idea. It forbids religious influence in the determination of state and social policies and forbids state interference in religious policies (as long as these do not break any laws or question such principle).
