was the reign of terror avoidable? why?

In the vacuum of the policing power of the well functioning state only religion can restrain people's violance.

But French Revolution had removed religious constraints as well. It made terror inevitable, like in Russian Communist revolution.

American revolutionaries were deeply religious and it helped to avoid reign of terror during transition to selfgovernment.

yes,it is avoidable by peoples awareness.

Reign of terror has to be avoided for peaceful living.
