My friend Henri from Sacramento was surprised when he met me first, because of my catholic faith. He was supposing that it is not very French, and a little bit desappointed maybe. He was thinking so, because of bad books I guess, that Henri read about France.
The typical French does not love clergymen, that he is comparing with women or German people. This is the reason why French people are closer to God: just because of their contempt of clergymen who mostly hide their weakness or madness behind masks or ridiculous tricks.
