The Revolutionary Spirit: Enlightenment and the Ancien Regime

The French Revolution wasn’t just a political revolution where one government was replaced with a new one. 

The French Revolution was also a social revolution. The largest social institution in France at the time of the revolution was the Catholic Church. 

At the start of the revolution, the revolutionaries attempted to create a new state religion which was quite unlike anything else the world had seen before or since. 

Learn more about the Cult of Reason and the attempts of Revolutionary France to create a state religion that wasn’t a religion on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
