There are three possible answers to this question because there were (at least) three political parties that could be deemed "socialist revolutionaries.
First is the Bolshevik Party. Vladimir Lenin was the chief leader.
Second is the Menshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. Julius Martov was the chief leader of that party.
Third is the Party of the Socialist Revolutionaries. Victor Chernov was the chief leader of that party.

It was the Age of Enlightenment, and religion was beginning to lose its grip on the intellectual world. Many of the Founding Fathers were Deists or Naturalists; they believed in "Nature's God", or Creation itself, rather than a personal God. Some found wisdom in the proponents of different faiths (Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, etc.), and some didn't. Many monarchs (kings and queens) believed in the "Divine Right of Kings"; that God appointed them to their jobs, and wanted them there. The bad choices made by many monarchs called the whole idea into question.
