Are there any practicing Christians left in Europe?

It seems that everywhere in the continent, with the exception of recent immigrants, Europeans have largely abandoned practicing Christianity. Are there any places in the countryside, or in certain regions of Europe where this has not happened, yet.

    Yes, quite a few. I'm an "atheist" but in my immediate family there are several religious people. Although religion here is a personal thing, they don't preach or talk about God in any way, unless the topic calls for it. They understand that not everyone needs a placebo to guide them through life, to help them tell right from wrong and good from evil. They get that being religious or not doesn't say anything about the kindness in your heart.

    Sure there are, but are on the decline just as the third letter of Fatima foretold nearly a century ago. It has o do with preparing the stage for the final showdown, may take few more generations, or perhaps even one more minute, in either event, don't worry, there is a higher method to this unfolding madness - and the faithful shall always remain, even if but mere handfuls.

    It goes beyond just attending a weekly service (Mass) in which fewer people are attending a weekly service (Mass). For example when people were asked questions pertaining to Christian beliefs in relation to having sex outside of marriage most of the people that identified themselves as Christians in Europe stated that it wasn't sinful like 90%. However in matters of divorce in which they were asked if divorce was sinful the European Catholics were more in accord to what was taught by the Catholic Church however the European Protestants almost all of them didn't think divorce was sinful.

    Im guessing you are one of those Christians that believe that Islam has taken over Europe, pillaging cities, have many ghettos as you call them in the US, dont abide the law of the land and have their own and such.

    Anyway, No. That is not the case. My travels around Europe show that Christianity is still visible.

    Though many are coming to the Truth.

    I live in a new city in Britain; most people here have come from other places. It would have been so easy for all just to stopped bothering with church etc.

    However, I am assured by my Christian friends that there is a very lively Christian community.

    the last i heard, from actual statistics, by Katherine Albreicht, she says there are more christians world wide than muslims. 2.2 billion christians. so, even though there are a few nations that are called atheists, just remember Hitler killed 6 million jews, and 5 million christians. and while russia and china outlawed religion, the believers still went underground to hide their true faith from the rest.
