Reading all this from Europe sounds unbelievable. I barely know anyone who ever goes to church. And certainly not anyone under 50. Religion here is just history. Some people from older generations where great-grandfathers used to be Catholic or Protestant, retain some cultural quirks typical to religions, but in 3-4 generations of atheism that passed where people did not consider historical faith of their parents as a factor in choosing a life partner, all of the differences have erased through mixing and many don't even know which faith any of their relatives belonged to, or even know about any relatives so distant in history that they were religious... Religion sir, it's done.<p>Church still exists but it exists more or less like a large hedge fund with good governance with asset structure centered on real estate (and banking), that also cut itself nice backdoor tax deals. I don't even think any of their bosses are religious anymore. It's just business.
