Atmosphere of France: religion and languages
On this basis, it can be noted that it is the German language that is the second most common in France. It is mostly spoken in the northern regions of the country. Some churches even hold religious services in German. French is very different from trivial English, German, or Spanish. It should be noted that the local population of France refuses to learn other foreign languages, following the example of the British, who also believe that it is sufficient for them to know only their native language. Speaking about religion, it is worth noting that France is a territory that espouses freedom of religion. In the meantime, the dominant religion in the country is Catholic Christianity. It is also worth noting that France is one of the most non-religious countries among all the states of the European Union.
