It's wrong to say that most Europeans believe in
god or that they don't -
most don't give a shit either way.
So back when the Church had a lot of power in Europe,
do you think that even then most Europeans didn't give that shit?
Or do you think that no longer giving a shit isn't much of a change?
It seems to me that opinions have probably changed a lot,
but I was willing to accept what you said.
They managed to see the real question
and answered it "no" - they aren't going to give church any powers.
Good! And please don't think that I prefer what Americans have done.
I still don't see what this has to do with what we were talking about,
which is applying NPOV to various differing beliefs.
