Atheists Gone Wild: Reign of Terror Kills Thousands in Less than a Year

It was especially dangerous to be a Catholic priest in these days,

And for the same reason as later Russian revolutionaries offed some orthodox priests. As usual, the church was a willing conspirator in the oppression of the populace.

Just like in the US, preachers drive around in Rolls Royces while the common people ride the bus. In France and Russia the fuckers stole everything that wasn't nailed down.

As Aeschylus said, "Dangerous is a people's voice charged with wrath."

You'll notice a few dead priests and bishops didn't stop Pius VII from signing a concordat with Napoleon just a few years later. Your bloody church never lets a few bodies get in the way of money.
