How did antclerical sentiment affect France's church and society?
Anticlerical sentiment in France led to the separation of church and state in 1905, which significantly decreased the influence of the Catholic Church on the country's government and institutions. This sentiment also resulted in the closure of many religious institutions, the secularization of education, and a decline in religious practices among the population.
Critics about the hunchback of notre dame?
The plot is far too heavy and grave for juvenile cartoon fare. Even iif it takes place in the past, the plot is far too anticlerical and, well Film Noir. The l996 cartoon somehow twisted the plot around to allow for a happy conclusion for the deformed title character and his paramour. I don"t know how they did it, but both parties died in the original. ( Esmeralda and Quasimodo).
Did the states begin to abolish laws that discriminated against certain religions?
There are no such LAWS on the books in the United States- after all fleeing from religious persecution has given America a strong tradition of religious freedom and tolerance. There has, historically, been very little anticlerical violence in the United States- violence directed specifically against religious groups or clergy- but certain horrible trends- such as the child-abuse problem with Priests- may cause these facts to change.

What was the conflict between Galileo and the catholic church?
Galileo was teaching the Copernican heliocentric (sun centered) hypothesis of the universe as fact and openly declared he had no proof to offer. Many in the Vatican, including the pope himself, supported Galileo's claims. However, the pope advised him to stop teaching it as fact when it was only a theory or hypothesis. Galileo refused and began publishing some very anticlerical and sarcastic remarks about the pope and the Roman Curia. He quickly lost any support he had in the Vatican and was sentenced to house arrest by the Inquisition. Pride was his downfall. Copernicus had long supported the heliocentric hypothesis but had no problems with the Church as he did not teach it as a fact.
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.
