You said
"France is hardly secular, it's whole culture is grained in........"
you didn't say
"French culture is secular"
That's two very different things.
The statement
My statement "France is a secular state" remains a true statement of fact, as the French State itself says below
The French Republic is a secular state where all religious faiths and denominations are represented:- Catholics: 47,000,000, 81.4% of the population
- Moslems: 4,000,000, 6.89% of the population
- Protestants: 950,000, 1.64% of the population
- Jews: 50,000, 1.29% of the population
- Buddhists: 400,000, 0.68% of the population
- Orthodox: 200,000, 0.34% of the population
- Other: 4,700,000, 8.12% of the population
