To reduce the power of the Roman Catholic Church in French government, reformers during the Enlightenment emphasized secularism and the separation of church and state. They advocated for the nationalization of church properties, limiting the Church's influence on education and politics, and promoting religious tolerance. The Civil Constitution of the Clergy in 1790 redefined the relationship between the Church and the state, further diminishing the Church's authority. These reforms aimed to establish a more egalitarian society and reduce the Church’s control over French citizens' lives.
