Mashing together protestant reformers with the traditional Christian world is literally as stupid as lumping together modern day Germany with Nazi Germany. Even dumber actually since Germany is still the same land mass with a lot of the same people whereas the protestant reformation created an entirely new religion.
The purpose of the French revolution was to overthrow throne and alter, monarchies and patriarchs of the Church, and institute a new religion. This was accomplished by democratizing and monetizing pretty much everything, including religion.
