Everyone not familiar with the French Revolution should knowledge up on it. The reign of terror started out innocently as a noble leftist utopian fantasy targeting the inequities of the French people. Christians including clergy were targeted and murdered by the thousands.
Remember Vendee...
Good podcast ongoing right now on this very subject called "Revolutions".
Yup. They disposed that bad old King (who was perhaps clueless but not evil) and replaced him with an out of control power hungry clique that operated as a dictatorship. They executed their political enemies by the thousands, and eventually they were replaced by ... an emperor. Yeah that worked out real well.
They use every single opportunity they can find to divide people into groups and then get the groups to hate one another. How do things calm down once drumbeat begins and the crowd is whipped into a frenzy of hatred? It becomes self-sustaining.

Excellent advice. Until I read about it, I thought the French revolution was similar to the American. Wrong. The French revolution was more like a vicious communist revolution. It was extremely anti-religious.
The French Revolution versus an armed society... No comparison.
American Christians won’t go quietly into the night with commie atheist/lefty christian haters. It is not what we believe Jesus would do just like He would not name Caesar’s taxes, alms for the poor.
Christian lefties are a small minority of Christians in the US and atheists are even smaller.
