In 1792 the French revolted. They revolted against religion
and installed a new “religion” – the Religion of Reason! (“Culte de la Raison”
in French, which took place in the context of the French Revolution). The new
revolution required of course – as any revolution – its toll on human blood.
Many people were killed and churches destroyed. The church if St. Paul in Paris
is one example.
The photos below show the results of this revolution…

Reason
can be too unreasonable sometimes…
PS. One can find a very good article for the Cult of Reason here
– the article is unfortunately in Greek. If one tries Wikipedia for that
he will just end up with some lines of text giving no information on such
events (one line for the destruction of churches and NO mentioning of any
deaths whatsoever!)…
