I don't personally see the point in having two separate but identical institutions,
I don't know what the socio-religious politics are like in France but I get the impression they've been tending towards generally anti-religious sentiments since the revolution. We don't as a nation have the same culture of separation of church and state as they do. They actually banned Burkas, I don't think that would be possible here. Religious freedom is more our thing.
