This is going to look weird. Even atheists tend not to write "Jesus christ"

"There are no penalties set out for those who insist on continuing to spell Christ with a capital "C.""

Not yet anyway. They've lost their everlovin minds over ther.

This doesn't shock me too much. Some Europeans tend to look at religion and religious faith as a sort of mental problem or difficulty. Or so it seemed when I was there.

No too panicked about it though. Every knee will bend in the long-long term, and G.K Chesterton rightly pointed out that religiously speaking Europe has been in rougher shape than it is now.

We'll see, the Church is a tough, tough critter.

Even if you don't believe in Him, why not capitalize the Feller's last name?

But realistically, how often are eu documents going to refer to Christ?

There is accademic and job penalties and legal respect for not following their pedantic orthographic rules.

They are nuts and extremists of the most stupid kind. There is an orthograph mafia in Europe, an entire industry of correcting mistakes...but cursing, filthy language and rape of children jokes are perfectly ok there. Pharisees form-nazism pales in comparison.

What they mean is that religion becomes a mere product, like car or sandwich...maybe following Marx's line that religion is an opiate....while in fact religion is a spiritual title of high importance...no wonder the muslims are running over them.

Even Attila the Hun, Jack the Ripper, Ivan the Terrible, and Vlad the Impaler get a capital letter. Why not Jesus the Christ (which means "the Anointed One" in Greek)?

Maybe Christ's Father will decide to 'lowercase' Europe.

Plenty of Lefties here do the same.
