Europe is well known for gaining intelligence and shaking off religion. Many people have praised Europe for getting rid of this disease in their politics and people, and despite accepting those ''evil'' Atheists and homosexuals, give more international aid than the U.S.A, or anyone else for that matter. Some of the worlds heathiest countries are in Europe, and also the most secular.
The dominant religion in Europe is Christianity, with the Roman Catholic Church the largest single sect, forming a major part of the lives of people in France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Ireland. The Protestants are several churches which originally broke away from the Catholic Church beginning in the 16th century, the first being the Lutheran Church. Members of Protestant denominations form the majority in Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and the United Kingdom. The third major Christian group is Eastern Orthodoxy, mainly in eastern Europe, of which the Greek and Russian sects are well known.
Europe is now the least Christian and the most secularized and socialized part of the world.<ref>[http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2008/05/02/europe-the-dark-continent/ Europe: The Dark Continent]</ref>
In addition to Turkey, Islam has established itself as the dominant religion in the Balkan countries of Albania and Kosovo.
