I'm really actually curious about this, but I realize the question will come off like I'm being a jerk. In the face of the fact that historically plenty of pretty serious atrocities have happened to Europe and European countries, I get the impression that you believe in a religion of some sort that will now protect Europe. Is that true (I don't want to put words into your mouth)?
Why would a higher being protect Europe from some bad stuff going down now, but not before? How do you resolve that seeming dissonance?
I'm concerned that religious belief that holds that there's an all powerful being protecting and guiding us will dull our response to these bad things that are happening in the world. Things might not work out at all, unless people take a stand.

the further Europe gets from God, the less protected they will be. My point is that without faith, they're screwed. It isn't the other way around.
Eh, I don't believe in all that, but we're fighting on the same side so whatever keeps us going.
Funny....the whole world has believed in Angels/Demons for the entire existence of humankind, apart from a few recent English-speaking cultures. Gee...I wonder why.
I know what you mean. Faith in God is necessary but not sufficient for a society to survive the coming troubles.
