That would be the argument for upholding them under US precedent, specifically Employment Division v. Smith - obviously, not applicable in France. There's a case that they're pretextual (a pretty good one!) and even if technically legal, it doesn't really affect the substance.

The supposed "compromise" between the latter and the former that characterizes modern France ends up just being cultural chauvinism and repression of minorities

I'm not actually in favor of the latter but if you were serious about being as anti-Christian as you were anti-Muslim you'd be so busy with the former you'd have no time for the latter
