France’s Religious History

France’s Religious History

I’ve attached the chapter of the textbook that my professor has assigned, but it SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY SOURCE USED.

I chose France for my country.

Main Assignment:Â

Trace the historical development of faith in your chosen country from the pre-Christian era (describe the form of paganism practiced prior to the advent of monotheism)

to today, paying special attention to the situation of religious minorities in the country (then and now). Locate statistics on current religious observance and
