NO 'CHRISTIANITY' IN EUROPE

Despite a request by seven EU nations and the pope, there will be no reference to Christianity in the new constitution of the European Union:
Seven nations, including Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic, urged the EU to refer to the "Christian roots of Europe" and explicitly mention Christianity and God in the constitution currently being drafted. The Vatican also made clear it wants a reference to Christianity in the Constitution....

Former French president Valery Giscard d'Estaing prepared an initial draft of the Constitution that refers only to the "cultural, religious and humanist" traditions of Europe.

Well, there's been very little Christianity in Europe for some time.
