Napoleon, himself, was not religious, although some claim he was Catholic due to the Concordat that he signed with the Roman Catholic Church in order to maintain peace with Rome following the French Revolution (1789-1799) where he confiscated the church lands and assumed control over the appointment of bishops. Although he never gave the property back, he did however, make France officially a Catholic nation. Ultimately, he exercised the long-lived idea of religious tolerance, which was a fundamental cause during this era of "enlightened despotism".
