The French nationalist scene has always been way ahead of the rest of us, from front national being a major player in politics while other countries had parties who were a decade or two from reaching parliament to the French new right who had developed a good ideological platform for dissident right wing politics in the 60s. France has a strong and living illiberal political tradition and French politics are a great source of inspiration for the rest of us.

The French New right strong anti-christianity would alienate at least 50-60% of Europeans (percentage of France and EU that are christian) and their pagan spiritualism alienates 10-30% of Europeans (percentage of france and EU that is atheist / materialist), and their support of the USSR alienated conservatives, and their elitism alienated populist. Benoist / GRECE appears pretty bad in this new book, though this is only a reflection Faye's circle and in viewpoint.

I do like to read them and they have interesting ideas and insights (mostly Dominque Venner, Faye and Renaud Camus), but most of them understood democracy wouldn't get them elected. Also Marie Le Pen has zero connection to the French New right and would probably denounce them as racist.

Any non religious person alienated by "pagan spiritualism" is not the type to vote for a nationalist party. It is not dogmatic like Abrahamic religions so I don't know why atheist would be bothered by it, in fact most of the pagan spirituality comes from non religious right wing people trying to become religious.
