The french revolution was virulently anti-Christian.
And "decadent, depraved, hedonistic, left wing" is pretty much a description of france for the past 400 years.
Remember how they were whining at us about how we were so uptight about married politicians cheating and should just accept that everyone in government had a mistress or three?
A man’s inability to stay loyal to his wife should exclude him from public office. If he cheats on his wife, he will really screw over the citizen. That’s why this country has gone to crap and why China has taken over. There is no love or loyalty left in America. We’ve turned into France’s narcissistic twin.
Are the French more risqué than Americans? Yes. And they were pro-gay long before the U.S. But they got heavily offended at the idea of bridging secular hedonism (gay) with Christian virtue (marriage).
