"The word 'Christianity' is an all-encompassing word that includes Judaism and tolerance of other religions," she said.

More than a million Europeans have signed a petition asking the European Union's member states to include a reference to Christianity in the 25-nation bloc's newly-adopted constitution.

More than a million out of 450M people. Hmmm....
If we assume that 95% are (nominally) Christian, that means that 0.234% of Europeans Christians feel strongly about their religion. No wonder the Pope is so worried.

The EU poobahs are just getting ahead of the curve, that's all.

In 40 years, Islam will be the reigning religion in Europe and the Founding Mothers don't want to have to bother amending the Constitution at that date, so they figure they may as well leave it out.

Say? Isn't that the sound of an islamic inroad being made that we hear? Kind of like the one that the NEA has under construction in our own nation.
