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

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

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

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

Dear atheist, do you realise that there is a God watching over you who will one day judge and condemn you for every wrong thing you have said and done before casting you into the lake of fire?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

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

Why does Islam give a bad vibe?

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