Muslims
There is no data
Qualitative Info
Since 1872, there have been no official statistics gathered on religious denominations in the census or in any administrative data file or any survey conducted by the public statistical institutions in France. This prohibition derives from provisions included in the laws on the secularism of the state and has been reinforced by the data protection act of 1978 (amended in 2004). Due to this general prohibition, there is no detailed information regarding the number of Muslims in France.
