French peasants were never "godless".
The French revolution ideologues were.
Some of the revolutionaries were nonbelievers. Are we to believe that the Abbé Sieyès was? I suspect not. Lafayette was a Mason, which means that he confessed belief in a Deity. Like our own revolution, there were a variety of beliefs among the participants.
our own was NOT a revolution. It was a war for Independence.
that is the main difference.
