Does France have Christianity in it?

You bet. The title of the Bourbon Kings was 'His Most Christian majesty'. The Revolution attacked the Church equally with the nobility, mostly because, in its higher echelons, the Church was run by the Nobility. The Church's land and wealth were confiscated, and under the Third republic (1870-1940), itself very anticlerical, an arrangement was reached under which the State retains ownership of the buildings, but the Church is allowed to use them; so a French congregation does not have to pay for the upkeep of the church or the Parish House or the Parish School. France is split almost equally between devout Catholics and fervent 'Laïques' or anticlericals, with a tiny Protestant minority, mostly Lutherans.
