The Convention sought to dechristianize France as part of its broader revolutionary goals to establish a secular republic and reduce the influence of the Catholic Church, which was viewed as a symbol of the old regime and monarchy. The leaders believed that eliminating religious authority would promote reason, liberty, and equality, aligning with Enlightenment ideals. This movement included the promotion of the Cult of Reason and the deconstruction of religious practices, ultimately aiming to create a more rational society free from traditional hierarchies. The dechristianization campaign was also a response to the Church's opposition to revolutionary changes and its perceived alliance with counter-revolutionary forces.
