    Finland is evil, so their government is Satanist

    You know, I used to think Poland was kind of cool, but now they just weird me out. They're like the Kansas of the EU...

      I've made a map of Poland. Religiousness and political sympathies are connected at least here, and there are some long- lasting trends in political sympathies of the regions.
      Perhaps you should include a legend so that we know what all the pretty colours mean.

          I thought You'd surmise. The more red, the more left-winged and anticlerical, the more blue the more conservative and clerical. Yellow spots are three places I live/lived in.

              Hm. The most religious part of Sweden (at least by the measure of voting for the Christian Democrats) is the area around Jönköping, where "arable land" means "the boulders are so small you can drive a tractor over them".,

                That just means Europeans are a bunch of dirty atheists, not that there is a huge number of Muslims. That article also mentioned that there are an estimated 1.5 - 1.8 million Muslims total in the UK. With a total population of around 60 million, that makes the Muslims a bit less than 3% of the population.

                Not much.

                    What's with the thinking that "doesn't attend church" = "atheist" anyhow

                    In any case, Europe doesn't have a Bible belt

                    It has a Bible blotch

                    And it's name is Poland

                          Some of the Western Isles of Scotland are very religious. You could add them to the Bible Smear.
