It was a semi-win.
State churches are bad news, especially when there’s real pressure to join them for reasons having nothing to do with spirituality. It’s better even being atheist, probably, than that. Atheist is more honest about where the people are. And that’s where France is. Catholic interest is little. Protestant interest is even less.
A believer’s revolution was found more in America. Perfect no. “The worst system in the world except for all the rest” — yes.
Agreed again.
