Question to Gustaf and other European Posters

[Huckleberry Finn]

MarkDel.  Prime minister of Spain is Aznar not Azonar
And prime minister of Italy is Berlusconi not Bertuloscone.
You beginning to sound like your president.
 
Markdel. There are also topics of International Elections and International General Discussion in THIS FORUM! If you want to be in some place which is secure and familiar American-only, this is not your place.

Gustaf, Michael and Realpolitik very good posts!

Old Europe. It's always nice to see another European here. Welcome!

About teaching religion and praying in the schools. It is funny thing that in most European countries, where people are much more secular than in USA, praying in the schools is common practice. In Finland about 85 percent of people are member of Evangelical Lutheran Church and most children participate religion lessons in school.
But despite that less than 5 percent of people go to church every Sunday! Church is place only for weddings, funerals, christenings and confirmations.

I think that one reason why USA is so much more spiritual is that there religion is familybusiness, not something which has been learnt in in school. Of course there are lot of religious parents in Finland who teach religion issues to their children, but I don't think that is as usual than in the USA.
