That's an extremely simplistic view of millenarian revolts, mostly borne of the conviction that the most cynical answer is the right one.

Yes, to you and Stalin, God is a means of controlling the masses that nobody would believe in unless the state had its boot on their neck, but to Medieval peasants, God is their ultimate benefactor and natural ally, and the Church is the most important social service. I think you may have missed the part where all Christian revolts seek to restore the Church by challenging it from within, rather than setting up communistic (you)topian hellholes.
