!The French Revolution and the secularization of Europe
The French Revolution took place in 1789 AD, which uprooted religion from France, separated religion from the affairs of life, confined it to the church, and established secularism, which began by separating politics from religion, and then expanded to separate all the affairs of life from religion, from ethics, economics, science, art, administration, etc.... .
Secularism was not satisfied with separating these topics from religion, but rather considered religion to be based on myths, illusions, and nonsense, and that it was exploited by clerics and the priesthood, and that it was against progress, renaissance, civilization, and science. It considered matter to be the origin of the universe, and that resurrection, heaven, hell, angels, demons, etc.... no talk. I reach him.
Thus, the French Revolution established the non-religious component in Western civilization, which became a major asset in it, and which was represented in a major intellectual axis, “secularism,” which stems from hostility to religion, fighting it, restricting it, confining it to the church, and keeping it away from influence and interference in all other affairs of life. Such as: economy, science, family, society, etc....
Then the principles of the French Revolution, which were based on separating religion from politics, confining it to the church, and not allowing it to interfere in the affairs of society, spread to all of Europe, and secularism took root in all of Europe within a short period of the French Revolution.
