Just a detail: La Fête de l'Être Suprême was actually a big popular success, unlike it's shown in RF.Les années terribles. It was many members of the Convention, especially the atheists, who were appalled by the Fête. But on the popular level, it was well-received and interpreted as a reconciliation of the regime with the religious people.
