Sometimes some of the Protestant countries are more on the side of God's laws, for example concerning economics, law courts or the rights of evangelical churches. Now the good will be given up to gain the 'rights' of every criminal act that is allowed in another country. Only sometimes the good will triumph. So in Greece the persecution of evangelical Christians through the state and the Greek Orthodox Church nearly stopped after Greece became member of the European market. For me the European market is also a big deal to get rid of the differences between a Catholic and Protestant ethic of work.
Nobody wants to know why the Catholic countries are much poorer.
Especially Germany does as if there would be no difference between the different Christians heritages, because it always was divided into a Catholic and a Protestant part, although the Catholic part most time was dominated by the 'Prussian spirit'. How much the religious background for every state is denied by the architects of united Europe is proved by the discussion whether Turkey should become a member of the European market or not. In the federal republics the states hold certain rights. Scotland still has its own law system. In Germany the states govern for example education, certain taxes, the law courts, the bank system and the building of streets.
