"So it's weird to find out about oddly, deeply, conservative parts of French civilization."-and at best most French are culturally Christian/Catholic. Christianity is as dead in France (at least amongst non immigrants) as it is elsewhere in Western Europe. That's far from being conservative.
- bane 11y agoDon't confuse "conservative" with "religious". One surprising thing in my little looks into the Francosphere is how little religion plays.

When gay marriage was (finally) legalized, religious people were out in force trying to avoid it. That they failed is an improvement though: when public funding for private (religious) school was threatened to be removed (in the 80s), the same people managed to prevent it.
