Reply #67: I wouldn't be so sure about that

Spain, Italy, Portugal, the Catholic areas of Germany, Switzerland, Austria....all those places don't come anywhere near what France has done.

My kids get religious instruction in school. They just recently took part in the annual St Martin's Day celebration, they all have Christmass trees in school, get a visit from St Nicholas with a bag full of chocolate Santas. In short, they do all the regular traditional Christmas stuff (and Easter too).

Compared to the rest of Europe, France's stance is extreme.
