The French Revolution was about over throwing the Catholic Church. The church was the largest individual landowner in France, controlling nearly 10% of all estates and levied tithes, effectively a 10% tax on income, collected from peasant farmers in the form of crops. In return, it provided a minimal level of social support.

If God and Christ find grave and death rituals abhorrent (which I agree) then they should find the Cross and Eucharist abhorrent also, along with the other C.C. rituals. There are many meanings to the symbols they use, many of which we are ignorant.
