Many of the founders were actually deists. While they were raised Christian, several of their beliefs were more closely to Deism. That was a theology based on a hands-off version of God and more of a focus on the natural world. Their focus was not as much on the religious side of the French Revolution, but as was stated earlier, the economic or political rights side.
