Europe is a very secularized and socialized continent, especially in the north and west.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120516073831/http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2008/05/02/europe-the-dark-continent/ Europe: The Dark Continent]</ref>

In the 21st century, due to religious immigration and the higher rate of fertility of religious conservatives, a [[desecularization]] of Europe is expected to occur (see: Secular Europe|Desecuralization of 21st century Europe]]).

====Muslims====
About 15 million Muslims now live in Europe, 3% of the population. They are highly diverse in terms of ethnicity and language; about half practice religion. About half are citizens of the countries in which they live. Economic poverty and limited opportunity is striking for the Muslims of France; where riots have occurred periodically. Islam is the dominant religion in the Balkan countries of Albania and Kosovo as well as the slice of Turkey in Europe.
