Actually, you're wrong. The post-Christian reform of the Netherlands started with the reformation. Calvinism is the first step to "post-Christianity" -- after that experiment is done, people despair of the fake Christianity of Calvinism and become hedonists.

Once they're fed up of that, they'll return to the Catholic Church, to Christianity.

So that we understand clearly the crack-pot theory promulgated here, allow me to summarize this post: You are claiming that the theology of freedom from Rome's oppressive sacerdotalism, the morality of removing the papal sponsored whore houses and the enlightenment derived by reading the Scriptures for oneself, features that accompanied the Reformation in the 16th century, gave rise to the degradation we observe in Holland during the 20th & 21st century as the population increasingly turn to the RCC?

May I say, you may wish to adjust your tin foil cap, my FRiend. It would have made more sense to blame Bush, Palin & Beck, or Pee Wee Herman, or ailiens, or... Does Rome permit thinking, at all?
