If you look closely, the French Revolution was a war on Christianity as much as anything. France has essentially been an anti-religious country for 200 years. As such, they have consistently lacked the moral clarity to make a stand against evil in the world, this is especially clear in their attitude toward Hitler and now toward Islamo-fascism.

That surely got "short shrift" when I was taking World History in high school.
I was fairly shocked when I later read about the revolutionaries locking
priests and nuns into barges and then sinking the barges.

I think I've heard Michael Medved comment that the American Revolution was to
establish a system where EVERYONE (from top executive on down) was subject to
laws/rules imposed by Providence/G-d/Supreme Being.
And in contrast, the French Revolution was about erasing G-d from the public
commons.

"the French Revolution was a war on Christianity"
Concur in part. I think it was more a war on the Church as an institution. Over the years (1,200 at least) the Church had quietly acquired a substantial portion of France's real estate. It was "tax exempt" even back then and this put quite a crimp into the central government's tax base. The aristocracy was of course excused from any taxes because somewhere in the deep dark past Charlemagne and his predecessors or successors had given their ancestors estates which were tax free because they fought the Saracens, Moores, Saxons, Infidels, Mohammedans, and God only knows what else.

Anti-God for sure. So hateful of the things of God were they that the revolutionists went into convents and pulled dead nuns out of their coffins and displayed them on the street.

I'll pass the message to the 200,000 French soldiers who died fighting Axis foprces in WW2 and who probably didn't know they "lacked the moral clarity to make a stand". And to the 1.4 million who died fighting Imperial Germany 25 years before.
