Important for which people?
I’m not pro Catholic Church but I’m not “Temple of Reason”, pro atheist Enlightenment either.
Seems like the politicians highjacked the revolution and pushed out God completely and enforced secularism , so the new
Government could fill the void. Kind of like modern America. The political leaders became the judge and prosecutor during the revolution. Where they executed anyone that disagreed with leaders.
I’m not a historian but this is my opinion on limited reading on the subject.
