The dechristianization of France during the French Revolution is a conventional description of the practical result of a series of policies conducted by several French governments from the beginning of the revolution of 1789 to the Concordat of 1801. These policies would form the basis of the later and less radical movement secularist
The dechristianization program carried out against Catholicism, and eventually against all Christian religious forms included:
• The confiscation of the lands of the Church that would serve as a guarantee of security for the new revolutionary currency, the one assigned.
• Removal of statues, altars and any kind of iconography of places of worship.
• Destruction of crosses, bells and other external signs of worship.
• Institution of a revolutionary and civic creed that included the Cult of Reason and the subsequent Cult of the Supreme Being.
• The enactment of a law on October 21, 1793 condemning to death all priests who did not take an oath of allegiance to the regime.
The climax of these policies is reached on November 10, 1793 with the celebration of a liturgical act worshiping the Deified Reason in the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
The dechristianization campaign was seen as a logical extension of the materialistic philosophies of several leaders of the Enlightenment. Others, on the other hand, see the process as an opportunity to unleash resentment against the Church and the clergy as dominant sectors that had been during the Old Regime.
