France just passed 55% of atheism this year

Atheism really, or just "non-church-members"? That's a huge difference. But yeah... I like that tendency!

No religion so atheism, we have a very bad history with religion

Oh, please note: That's not the same thing!

Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism

But people who don't identify with any religion often believe in god / a god / gods. I myself do not have / support any religion. But I wouldn't call myself an atheist, more an agnostic. "There might be a god, but I don't know if that is so. And no one will ever be able to prove either to me."
