In April 2010, the British academic and [[agnosticism|agnostic]] [[Eric Kaufmann]] declared that "the rate of secularisation has flattened to zero in most of [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Europe]] and [[France]]."<ref>[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2013/03/british-academic-eric-kaufmann-says.html British academic Eric Kaufmann says "the rate of secularisation has flattened to zero in most of Protestant Europe and France".

Like many irreligious/nonreligious countries, France has a subreplacement fertility rate which is help causing an increase in immigration (especially religious immigrants), but some of France's pro-natalist policies is making the situation better and it now has a fertility rate better than many developed countries (see: [[Atheism and fertility rates]]).<ref>[https://geographyas.info/population/france-pro-natalism/ France, a Pro Natalist Country]</ref> See also: [[European desecularization in the 21st century]]. In 2016, France's fertility rate was 1.96 (a replacement level of births is 2.1 children per woman).
France has had a significant amount of [[evangelical Christian]] and Islamic immigrants in recent years. Many of France's immigrants are from former French colonies in Africa and Asia.
