Abstract

The article explores the way in which the formative relationship between Christianity and national identity is questioned if not rejected in contemporary Europe. As the secularisation of this continent reaches a new phase in its western side, one by one nations seem to depart irreversibly from the Christian heritage. This paper argues that although secular, contemporary Europe ought not to be irreligious. The challenges for the societies today can be addressed efficiently by making use of the values of the Christian faith; moreover, separating national identity from Christianity could lead to a disturbing crisis of an already troubled continent.
