It’s sometimes easy to forget that there are religious fundamentalists all over the world.  Europe, for the most part, seems to escape, with low levels of religiosity across the continent, high levels of education and high levels of happiness (Northern Europe and Scandinavia in particular have some of the lowest religiosity levels in the world combined with […]
