Well said, Aurel. I think you hit it on the head.
But do you think the French truly want to, in a way, emasculate religion for the greater populace? Whether it's for this reason or a more shallow effort toward appeasing world view in concentrating its efforts on Muslims, my thought is the government is nonetheless imposing its authority on religion, and with that, not truly separating church and state.
