    Europe- The Atheist continent!?

    Wow, a lot of believers in Europe. I didn’t expect that, I mean look at Romania. Anyway we Slovenians have the same rate as Holland, not bad.

    But that light spot south of Poland makes no sense to me whatsoever, why are there such differences in eastern Europe? Wasn’t religion uniformly suppressed in the Eastern block, so shouldn’t expect uniform rates all over?

    Belief in God (Europe)

      The opposite, actually — since religion was violently suppressed by the communist regimes, it only fueled a latent comeback.

      If there was a lesson to draw, it would be about America's "suppression" of terrorism.

        The worst thing for religion is to have a state church.

        Freedom, like America, is the best.

          Uhh, Opium of the People ring a bell? Communist countries didn’t have a state church?

            WTF are you on, Jon?

            We're not in the 17th century anymore. It's not like anyone nowadays (well, in NA and Europe, that is) is forced to adhere to Roman Catholicism or Anglicanism.

            Or did you mean something else?

              But why are there such fluctuations?

                Europe is still feeling the effects of a mellennium of religiona nd politics being combined...

                It is why religion is so small there. If it is suppressed, religion advances (see communist countries or early Rome).

                  Religion and Politics? Coming from an American, that’s a rather interesting comment.

                    Half of Finns believe in Gunderscored? I'm surprised.
                    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

                      Religion and politics are seperated, that is why politicians feel free to talk about their religious selves as well as their other selves.

                      The fact that some people vote based upon religious issues shows that we have a religiously free state.

                        There were religious laws less than 100 years ago in europe. There have been some in the US (but fewer), but generally they get struck down... which is a very good thing.

                          Not really. The Religious Right (which is what I assume you refer to) is a relatively recent phenomenon. The U.S. was founded largely by deists whose top priority was to keep Church and State separate at all costs.

                              Perhaps.

                              I take it Palestinians enjoy freedom of religion, too?
