It enshrines the essence of \u201csecular natural law\u201d and promises equality and freedom to all men and women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">51.1% people of France are Christians, even though only 5% of the Catholics actively practice the religion. Islam comes next with about 5.6 % followers, according to estimations of 2016. The vast difference in the statistics of the top two religions, is because of the fact that 39.6% of the French people do not abide to any religion at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Roman Catholicism was once at the heart of French society and prior to the French Revolution, it was the state religion. Since the revolution, however, French society has grown increasingly secular, heterogeneous, and egalitarian. France is now home to the <strong>largest atheist population<\/strong> in the world. The growing influence of Islam is testimony to the inherent diversity of French society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent years, however, the growth of Islam in France has been met with increasing distrust and fear. According to a survey by the Gatestone Institute in 2012, 60% of French people think that Islam has become &#8220;too visible and influential&#8221; in the country and over 40% believe that the increase in the number of Muslim immigrants is a major threat to the secular outlook of French society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since 2011 the revival of the L&#8217;affaire du voile islamique (the Islamic veil affair) has been a matter of much debate and tension in France. In the early 1990s, there arose a demand to ban all forms of veils (particularly Islamic veils). In 2010, full body coverings such as the burqa and headgear such as the hijabs and niqabs were banned. This caused much outcry and seemed to point towards the latent Islamophobia in French society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Islam which was followed by only 4% of population in year 2007, has spread to 5.6% of population in 2016. Analysts believe that among all the countries of Europe, <strong>Muslim migrants are integrated best in France<\/strong>. And by 2020, about 8.3% of French population is likely to follow Islam.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Maps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/france\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/maps\/maps\/thumbnails\/france-thumb.gif\" alt=\"France Map\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">France Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/world-religion-map.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thumbnails\/world-religion-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"World Religions\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">World Religions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/europe\/thematic\/islam-population.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thumbnails-new\/islam-population-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Muslim Population in Europe\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Muslim Population in Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/world-top-ten\/world-top-ten-countries-with-largest-muslim-populations-map.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/world-top-ten\/maps\/thumbnails\/world-top-ten-countries-with-largest-muslim-populations-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Countries with Largest Muslim Population\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Countries with Largest Muslim Population<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France is not a Muslim country, yet while Roman Catholicism is on decline, Islamic followers are on the rise in the country.
