When does secularism promoting "social harmony" overstep the boundaries of just plain repressive? Any takers that the ACLU will get on board with something like this here?
1. The American-CLU wouldn't have much business in France, nice attempted jab but horribly mis-applied.

2. I think it is better for the pendlum to swing in the direction of non-religion in public matters than specific religious exemptions. I have never seen conflict between Athiests and Agnostics, or for that matter Diest and Athiest.

3. France is such a great place, and yes since I like it so much I may indeed both marry it and move there.
