If they are not openly religious, are they religious at all? Are they Christian in any real sense, or is it just the remnants of what once was that still cling to them? I lived in Europe for a number of years (enough to learn and speak the language well) in a country that was, according to gazetteers in a number of published atlases, about 70% Roman Catholic. But that was simply and completely untrue. The actual percentage was probably a tenth of that.

I don’t know, but if this article is any indication, it seems that not much of a religious nature is happening there.
