    Is it a bad idea for me, a non-religious person, to wear one in solidarity? (As well as for privacy, sun protection, etc.)

    (I do not live in France.)

      I fail to see why not. It’s just a dress. You shall wear whatever resonates with you.

        It’s not just a dress, unfortunately. It’s a dress, strongly associated with female oppressive rules of Islam.

      I have been in some pagan veiling online circles and have discovered that a lot of non-Muslims use Muslim-style veils and it usually is not considered offensive, so I think that it would be okay for an irreligious person to use one.
