I won't insult you. Here's a fact the can't ever be disputed. Ever.
More people have been murdered in the name of religion than any other idea ever. And before we look at the French revolution as all the atheists victimizing the faithful, let's actually look at the reasons the revolution occurred in the first place. Primarilly, starvation and malnutrition were runnin rampant, and citizens rights were being oppressed by the monarchy. There was very little separation between church and state, and many social edicts were instituted by the church that further alienated the peasantry from nobles. Couple that with the fact that France was headed towards bankruptcy and you he all the key critical ingredients for a modern revolution.
Now what were the results of the revolution? The establishment and ratification of a constitution protecting the inalienable rights of the common folk.
So we can deduct that the cause was not exclusively religion and the victims of the revolution were not all religious figures. So perhaps this is a moot point, as this is a religious forum and the French revolution wasn't religiously motivated, exclusively that is. :/
