What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

Is it possible for the U.S. government to get rid of the constitution for national safety?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
