the very dark side of the French revolution

This caught my eye. I was stunned. American history books will say that, only about 40,000 were killed during the French revolution. The Christian hater's will rail about the inquisition and on the evils of religion. But the inquisition killed between 30-40,000 over a three hundred year period. ( it is also misrepresented, because the inquisition was mostly a tool of the state, not the church, to keep control.)

Amongst atheistic historians and modern writers their is no fear of God to keep them honest. They will embrace Machiavelli's exhortation that the end justifies the means and we have all seen how they will twist and outright lie to advance their religion, that which they, believe to be true.
