would france be a superpower in the 20th and 21st century if their population growth rate hadn't declined due to low birth rates?

for example, if france's population grew at the same rate as england's from 1800 to 2000, they would have about 171 million people in 2000.

Atheism was a cause... No church = no children. Same as today.

There was a 19th century trope that French women despised the thought of pregnancy
