Another chance for Europe

The Christian Science Monitor reports that a growing number of Europeans are looking for spiritual things, in the heart of secularism.

Despite the overwhelming perception of an atheist continent, 74% of Europeans say they believe in some higher power. And just as in America, a secular generation is being replaced with one that has more than a passing interest in spiritual issues. In two countries (Ireland and Poland) over 50% of the people attend church weekly.

This by no means indicates that Europe is in the midst of a Christian revival, but it does show that many Europeans have tried the Post-Christendom culture and are left wanting.

  • I'm sorry if I wasn't clear that was the case. I feel it is still more of a religious or spiritual awakening than anything else. It is certainly not a Christian revival as I said, but it is a move out of secularism which had been (still is) so dominant in Europe.
