It was very much mentioned. Along with their efforts to change calenders and establish worship of the 'Goddess of Reason'.

That's interesting. Maybe it had some scholarly merit. Lately, History Chanel seems to attempt to 'do history' using only the most lurid and sensational facts, and just to attract persons who are looking at these events and people, etc., for the first time in their lives. Sort of, History for people who don't know anything about History. I had to quit watching.

As an aside, say what you want about the little general, Bonaparte, when he made himself emperor, he returned the Catholic Church in France to its position, (minus the political influence). On his coronation day and amid all the pomp and ceremony at Notre Dame, his marshals were all PO'd (they were even more extreme Republicans than he was. Anyway, one of them (forget which one) said ..."Two million Frenchmen died to put an end to this claptrap." Ha!
