Quote:The Reign of Terror (5 September 1793 – 28 July 1794: the latter is date 10 Thermidor, year II of the French Revolutionary Calendar),[1] also known simply as The Terror (French: la Terreur), was a period of violence that occurred after the onset of the French Revolution, incited by conflict between rival political factions, the Girondins and the Jacobins, and marked by mass executions of "enemies of the revolution." The death toll ranged in the tens of thousands, with 16,594 executed by guillotine (2,639 in Paris),[2] and another 25,000 in summary executions across France.[3]

Atheists took over France after chopping the King's head off, and then it didn't take long before they were chopping each other's heads off in a crazy party atmosphere called the "Reign of Terror."

It was especially dangerous to be a Catholic priest in these days, because both atheist factions agreed that Catholic priests were "anti-Revolutionaries" who might return France to the bad old days when people went to Church and got fair trials when they were accused of crimes.

So some atheists ordered people to die over 200 years ago. How does this have any relevance to atheists today? That somehow because a few atheists were maniacs means we all are? Does that apply to everything a few atheists did in the past? Percy Bysshe Shelley was an atheist, so does that mean we are all great poets?

Atheists today are not part of the same organisation that those atheists were in. The modern catholic church, however, is still the same corrupt organisation as the one that comitted all the atrocities such as the crusades.

And since when have catholics given fair trials? Ever heard of the inquisition?
