Atmosphere of France: religion and languages
Last year, according to data, it is recorded that less than 30% of the population of the country believes in the existence of God. More than 35% of the country believes that there is a higher force or energy, whose mind is at times more powerful than the human mind. More than 40% of the population believe that there are no higher forces and consider themselves atheists. Catholicism in France has been recognized as the only religion for thousands of years. With the advent of Charlemagne in France, the Catholic faith became even stronger. It was proclaimed as the only correct direction of Christianity. Already at the end of the 19th century in France there were major changes, and the Country officially proclaimed itself a secular State. In other words, the Government gave freedom of choice of religion. However, over the years, other religious denominations began to develop in France, despite the fact that France is still considered a Catholic state.
