Like many countries around the world, the people of France have many different religions.

The government is a secular government and does not recognise any official religion.

The traditional religion of France is Catholicism, and there are many Catholics living in France. Some are non-practicing Catholics, which means they have been baptised and/or confirmed but do not regularly attend Church.

Other religions practiced in France include Islam (France has many Islamic immigrants from North Africa), Protestant Christianity, and Judaism.

The French State is, of course, entirely separate from religious affiliations. Many French people are actively laique - that is, opposed to organized religion. That said, of the religious half of the population, the majority are Christian, and the overwhelming majority of French Christians are Roman Catholic.

By information from CIA world fact book the percentage of different religions in France is as follows

Roman Catholic 83-88%,

Protestant 2%,

Muslims 5%-10%,

unaffiliated 4%

AnswerThe French government does not maintain any records of the statistics of the religion of the inhabitants of France, but a poll taken in 2010 gives the following percentages:

Christianity .. 54% of whom most are Roman Catholic.

Islam ............. 4%

Judaism ......... 1%

Buddhism ...... 1%

Other ............ 4%

No religion .. 31%

Note that those who publicly identify as Muslim make up around 5% to 9% of the total population, so the lower figure in these statistics would reflect private, personal views. In fact, only 34% of French people say they believe there is a God, so some religious identification is not based on fundamental belief.
