  "abstract": "Revolutions have transformed not only political institutions but also the relationship between\n\nreligious authority, individual belief, and state sovereignty. Yet these transformations have not\n\nfollowed a single historical trajectory. In some cases, revolutionary movements limited\n\nestablished religious institutions while protecting individual religious practice; in others, they\n\npromoted state atheism or incorporated religious jurisprudence into the constitutional structure\n\nof the state. This article compares five historical cases—England, the United States, France,\n\nSoviet Russia, and Iran—to examine how revolutionary change reshaped the relationship\n\nbetween religion and political power. It distinguishes personal belief in Allah, institutional\n\nreligion, secularization, constitutional religious liberty, state-sponsored atheism, and the\n\npolitical institutionalization of religious authority. Using a comparative historical and\n\nconstitutional approach, the study identifies differences in the sources of political legitimacy and\n\nin the legal position of religious institutions across the five cases. The analysis suggests that\n\nrevolution does not necessarily eliminate religion from public life. Rather, it can redistribute\n\nreligious authority, redefine the boundaries of state power, restrict religious practice, protect\n\nfreedom of conscience, or establish new forms of religious governance. The central argument is\n\nthat the political consequences of revolution must be assessed by distinguishing the\n\ntransformation of religious institutions from the persistence of individual faith and the legal\n\nguarantees afforded to conscience",
