Salut Rwandrall ! Bienvenue sur atheistforum !
I agree with your intro, beliefs about things outside the physical realm cannot be tested or proved thus putting all of those beliefs on the same level. If you believe in astrology by example you can't dismiss any other irrationnal beliefs because they're as rationnally valid as astrology . That's why it isn't rare to see people believing not in one superstition but in several.
I think your 1% of non-believer figure is a bit low, sorry. Unfortunately there's a lot of 'spiritual' non-believers who are into supernatural stuff. I'd say 5-10% is more accurate, but it's just my personal estimation. I'm afraid not every atheist deconverted because of rational thinking.
Same here. A quick google search for "forum athé" doesn't give as much results as "atheist forum". The number of french forums only dedicated to atheism is really small. That's why I came here i the first place, I couldn't find any attractive atheistic forum open to international news in french.

Also the issue of religion is much less present over there, it is more interesting to see what happens in countries where church and state are not always completely separate
