Description
Summary:This article engages the debate about religion in Europe in two ways. It starts by setting out the factors that must be taken into account in understanding the present situation in Europe with regard to religion. It continues by reflecting on these changes in terms of three atypical cases: Ireland, the former East Germany, and Romania. The article concludes with an affirmation of the overall framework.
