(Breitbart) Fewer and fewer French identify as being actively religious, and according to a new study there are now as many practising Muslims among the 18-to-29-year-old demographic as there are practising Roman Catholics.
In total, around 32 per cent of French in 2018 identify as being members of the Roman Catholic church, but the majority, 19 per cent, say that they do not practise, and only seven per cent say that they attend mass once a month — down from an already low nine per cent in 2008, French political magazine Le Point reports.
The research comes from sociologists Claude Dargent and Olivier Galland who compared the numbers to 1981 when 70 per cent of French identified as being Roman Catholics and 17 per cent regularly practised.
