    France showed tf up. Thank you France. Their signatures make up about 50% of the total number of signatures (>600k came from France and in total it’s approx 1.2M signatures).

    Thanks also to all the countries with at least 100%, because more than 6 countries were needed.

    Thanks for every single one that signed - no matter the statistics. Every signature counts.

      Important to note; The French have a very strong culture of secularism, which turns out helps a lot with fighting against religious BS.

      I’m torn between feeling proud my country did some good for once and annoyed that it means my signature is basically pretty useless compared to others.

        Giving your signature is never useless on things like this, as it is direct increase in the total support. The more the threshold is surpassed the harder it is to dismiss a moment as and activist fringe and not mainstream opinion.
