How about another question to revive the thread.
Do you think the French Terror would have happened without the Rationalist Enlightenment?
Probably.The French Terror was about power not ideology, as have been most revolutions,beginning with the American War Of Independence.
Revolutions come from the middle,not the bottom,fomented by disenchanted middle class intellectuals who then organise the masses. Revolutions tend to be bloody.
