Controversial General Political Discussion

Go back to cheering for Hamas,Hezzbollah,etc..and leave me alone.

Yes I exclude christianity as I exclude every religion and atheism. Don't bother talking about the West when what you're talking about is the catholic church.

You mean the Chadtolic Church.

No I meant the Cucktolic Church

Europe still pretty much Christian. You talk like every nation up there is atheist/agnostic.

Here you are, arguing with Europeans about Europe while sitting on the other end of the world. 🤡

Religion is a civilizing element.

Go back to cheering for Hamas,Hezzbollah,etc..and leave me alone.

Contradicting himself in one post. My boy never disappoints.

it gives me hope when I see how 40% of the population is atheist in countries like Spain. It is undeniable that Europe (with a few exceptions) is moving away from organized religion.

it gives me hope when I see how countries like Spain are around 40% atheist now. It is undeniable that Europe (with a few exceptions) is moving away from organized religion.

Only the west. Eastern Europe is a different story.

and Italy right?

The better your material conditions are, the more you'll see how your people move away from religion.

Lets just agree to disagree.

I was banned for a harmless joke in the past. I'm being respectful here. I expect equal treatment.

Bro what material conditions, Italy is emptying out, nowadays they pay foreigners who are willing to buy abandoned properties in the countryside. Also Italy belongs to the wester part. (But then on the other hand you have the Vatican that still seems to run child trafficking endeavors with backing from Italy's government so idk man)

religion played a big part in what we consider "the west"

What I meant is that Italy is the exception in western Europe when it comes to religion. Eastern Europe is significantly poorer than the west so they tend to be more religious.

It seems they don't like their own history.

I met plenty of religious people who basically don't care about their religion.

Which sounds like a contradictory statement.

But polls show for instance that those who identify as Christians do no specifically believe in an almighty God or even a life after death.

I'd be interested to read about why Eastern Europe remained religious despite the decades of Communist power.

But richer doesn't mean less religious btw. Turkey has a fairly important middle-class and they remain very much muslim.

Yes playED.

Simply because governments have nothing to do (usually nowadays) with popular culture. Communist regimes IMPOSED atheism.

Another heathen spotted.

I used to be a history bookworm. Religious history is somewhat interesting to me especially its connection with politics. But I never understood the difference between a canon and a monk ...

Monk is filler.

That's not a bad example. Still you got countries in Europe, China, and Japan who've become less and less religious as they got richer and richer.

There is at the very least, a correlation.

Bill Gates told me this:
Why are priests called canon?
Originally, a canon was a cleric who lived in the precinct of the cathedral. The word meant a priest who was under (ruled by) a bishop. In the Anglican church, some canons are laypersons (not ordained). The title is also given to some senior or retired priests as an honorary title.

Yes playED.

as long as we use terms like "the west" to denote the largely culturally Christian countries it kinda still does.
