Exaggeration, to put it mildly. i've lived in Poland for the past 2.5 years and visited Hungary, Croatia and Slovakia. Then 10 years ago i lived in the UK with long stays in Belgium and shorter ones in other western european countries
ari -- your statement is wrong to consider Europe as ONLY Western Europe. Eastern Europe (Hungary, Poland, Croatia, Slovakia) are pretty strongly Christian
Even in Western Europe I've seen and been part of communities in England and Belgium and yeah, even in Paris who are still strongly, and I mean STRONGLY Christian
These are a small number -- maybe 10% or less, but still.
Christianity is most definitely not dead in the increasingly godless nations of the UK, France and Germany.
In Scandanavia, your statement is close to true in my opinion, but I've not spent any significant time around those places to make a statement based on experience.
First of all, let me say the Scandos are incredibly stupid to have invited in a bunch of muslims. I don’t know why on earth they did this, but they were very foolish. How those peoples went from being the invading Viking hordes to their present day “live and let live” almost nihilists I’d love to know!
Now, let me say, we in the west need to have a real christian revival. I would urge even atheists to get religion.
The battle with Islam has entered another stage and almost nobody gets that this is happening. Most people who do get it are derided as complete cranks.
Yet the jihadis take it deadly seriously.
Oh well, at least THEY know we are not cranks.
