I call Europe post-Christian because, by there own surveys, there are few professing Christians there. Also, church attendance is very low. So I don’t state it as an opinion, but as a measurable fact.
If you are going to ignore the “details” of Scripture, as you recommend, which ones are you going to ignore?
I am glad your kids, in private Catholic school, are going to apparently get both sides of the issue. It is nice to at least get some equal time!
Your suggest I read the Bible. I suggest you believe it! All of it, that is. Apparently, you at least believe parts.
Well you should know that being a member in one of the big christian churches costs lots of money in Germany. Due to Adolf Hitler (yes that was indeed his crazy idea - he made a treaty with the church in 1933 - 1934, the so called "Reichskonkordat") we Germans have to pay a church tax. Therefore the people who are left in the two big churches must have some reason for it, since they have to pay each year a impressive sum of money for their membership to Christendom. Here are a few numbers about the important confessions in Germany (from the CIA-factbook):
Protestant 34%, Roman Catholic 34%, Muslim 3.7%, unaffiliated or other 28.3%
At last we have 68 % of people who declare themselves as Christians and who pay each month lots of money for it (9% out of the high German income tax). You should admit that this number is simply too high that you have any right to speak about a "post-Christian" continent.

In example statements about time, numbers and stuff like that.

I believe into most parts.
