It's official: France completely devoid of Christians
"We didn't expect the trend to bottom out so quickly, but it's not entirely a surprise,' said census expert Rolf Begamian, who helped oversee the French census. He said it's probably the first time since the early Roman Empire that the number of Christians has fallen to zero.
'That's astonishing,' said president Jacques Chirac in response to the news. 'All the better for us. Christianity reeks of Americanism.' "
Ah yes, a moderate Catholicism, as the NYT put it.
