International Layovers

I`m going to be traveling BWI-ATL-CDG-ATH on Delta Airlines in September. Our flight has a stopover in Paris for 1.5 hrs where we will change planes. Do I have to go through customs in Paris? Since our luggage should be checked all the way to Athens would this just be a Passport Control kind of thing since we are just "passing through" Paris? Is 1.5 hours enough to get through this in CDG and get to my connection?

Your bags will be checked all the way through (assuming one itinerary looks like DL to AF).

You will have to go through security and passport checks (since this is your port of entry into the EU).

1.5 should be plenty of time. I transited through CDG last week and got from plane to AF lounge in 20 minutes though I walk fast and also went through the SkyPriority line as PM.

Unless you are importing something into France you will not go through customs.
