Well, having mentioned holocausts and the stuff; I guess one of the most remarkable events in the near history that points out to the continuation of religious and ethnic awareness in the heart of Europe was the ethnic cleansing carried out by the Serbs; Bosnians´ being denied of receiving arms to protect themselves by France and Russia and the surrender of Bosnian civilians to the Serbian militia by the Dutch commander in charge who was pictured drinking wine and exchanging smiles with his Serbian counterpart. The Bosnians would then be murdered and raped and the Dutch commander would put the blame on their lack of power.
A number of Greek, Swedish and Russian ultranationalists came to fight in the ranks of the Serbs against the Muslims. Greek flag was hoisted after the completion of the invasion of a town.
In Europe, it all takes a spark to unleash the ethnic terror examples of which we have seen over and over.

Trudy should again englighten us about what "westernized" means? I think it`s smt Europeans say only when it suits them
I think you´re quite able to do that yourself.

Hahaha it is amazing - even a LIST entitled "RELIGION" sparks an argument 
(No mention of Pastafarianism I see  )

There aren`t any Christians who are ethnically Turks inside Turkey but there are Gagauz Turks living in Moldovia who are Christians.
Most of the Christians in Turkey are Syrians and Arabs living in the southe east around Hatay and Mardin.
oh, you little liar

Why the combination of ´none/agnostic´. It doesn´t make sense in my opinion. And since when is ´atheism´ in a list of religions
why such a fuss about it? atheism is a religion too. your faith is in the non-existence of God.

I disagree! There is no faith involved in atheism, no rules, no belief.

right but as you said almost all of them are converts which don`t constitute a large number, and they don`t have any Historic root to Christianity. Of course you can`t determine who follows what religion on the personal level.
awww, tami,
the whole region was christian once before it was islamised under the sword of allah.
the alleged santa comes from this region as well as saint george, most famous christian apologists were from here, the whoe bizantium etc etc.

you believe that there is no God, right?
then it is a religion.
you dont need to have rules. rules dont make a belief.

Well maybe this is more of an agnostic approach, but where there is no proof, there is no "belief", it is "fact".
