Nizhemin GD2 Mr. Garrels 10/27/11 The comparison of the religion in Europe There are lots of similar thing and different things of the religion in Europe. England and France are all one of the religious countries in Europe. They share the Christianity for their main religion, but their types of the Christianity are different, and they do not have the same increasing or decreasing of their religious practices. France and England have the same main religion. Christianity is the biggest religion in both countries. In England, seventy- two percent of the population is Christian. In France, nearly ninety percent of the population is Christian. There are lots of churches of Christianity in both countries. It spread all over nearly every region in two countries, and  people go to church every week to show loyalty to the God. This similarity might suggest that religious identity or morals are important to both countries. Though France and England’s main religion is Christianity, but the Christianity of two countries’ type different. The type of Christianity in England is Anglican. And the type of Christianity in France is Roman Catholic . Two countries all used to be a Roman Catholic country. When French becomes free to choose their religion they wanted. Just small part of religious change to other religions; most of people continue choose Roman Catholic to be their religion. But England is different. In 1533, the King of England tried to make a religion by himself, then he broke from Roman Catholic to be an Anglican church. Although the church has be change back to Roman Catholic for one time, it finally chance to be an Anglican and become to be the national Church of England. In England twenty three percent of the people do not believe in God, but in France just four percent of the people do not have any religion. It would seem that France will become a country which has the most religious people, but in fact it is not really true. The number people practicing religion in France is decreasing. France used to be a predominantly Roman Catholic country, that’s why there are lots of people have religion. But “ <span style="color: #0f1419; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">France is a deeply secular country which seen the role of organized religion in the lives of people in France diminish ever since the revolutions in in1780 and 1804.” <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Some people becomes not to attend church regularly, some becomes never got to the church. Since the 1970s, the government says people have a right to choose the religion they believe in. Some people become to choose another religion and some people become to have no religion. So I think France’s religious practice will be continuing decreasing instead of increasing. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> This comparison shows a lot about the Europe religion. Christianity is the biggest religion in Europe. There are different types of Christianity for different countries. And religious practices of some countries are also changing, some and increasing some is decreasing. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Information comes from: <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">[]
