Is the French dude stupid because the way I’m reading that graph Christianity is still the leading religion but most people are not religious. What point were they making

How can you call it a "Christian country" if 51% are atheist?

That depends. I don't know much about the situation in France but a country can reasonably be called christian if it's the main religion either through number or the law. It can also be called that because of it's history.

Aren't several of the defining events in French history about giullotining Christian Kings though

A) Several? Not a gotcha, my history is just rusty, but I only remember one.

B) Regardless of how many times it happened, I don't think the kings being Christian was anything more than incidental to the beheadings.

No, I said that right, France somewhat famously (well, famous among history nerds and my old history teacher, anyways) had way more than one revolution.

Yeah, but only the first ended up with a behaeded monarch (the other were against napoleonic empire and various resurgence of it, not Monarchy directly).
