In Americans movies, when the subject relates to religion in France, some directors always remind people of the time when nobility ruled over everything including religion.
For example, in the film Chocolat, the village mayor, Comte Paul de Reynaud, writes sermons for church and obliges people to confess and go to church.
Today, mixing religion and politics is taboo in France due to the stricter separation of state and religion. In addition, in France the practice of the religion has almost disappeared and is mostly limited to the elderly or special events like weddings or Christmas.
