message: Muslims ruled Spain (not just Andalusia) and some of Southern France for nearly 750 years.  Is this not considered a part of European "tradition"?  Indeed the Islamic influence is still very prevalent in many regions of Spain, particularly Andalusia as mentioned.  Perhaps a slight wording change is in order?
:Didn't the Muslims rule Sicily too for a while? But anyway, did the ordinary population of these places ever become Muslim? —Angr 10:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I see there is an Islam in Europe article but not a Christianity in Europe article. This is an article on Religion in Europe not Christianity in Europe. I shall make some sort of a start on Christianity in Europe. Please any one else contribute. thanks. Vexorg 01:47, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The recently added population figures constitute original research, since they are not included in the cited source. If included, it would also be necessary to specify sampling error etc., which requires more than simple arithmetic; so we would need a source from a reliable statistical source. They also prevent table sorting from functioning correctly. --Boson (talk) 21:18, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I just think it's rather odd, the prominence of atheism. NOT that it 'is' in some countries- rather, the distribution.
Like, the Czech Republic is incredibly irreligious. But it's right next to Poland, which is incredibly Religious. And next to Slovakia, which seems to be pretty religious. Plus, isn't Bavaria one of the more religious parts of Germany?
That pretty much sums it up- Why are SOME countries considerably less religious than others? IE, why is it not more balanced? ESPECIALLY in bordering nations- and SUPER ESPECIALLY between two countries that were the SAME country until 20 years ago...
Yes. Explanations would be nice. Masternachos (talk) 07:14, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it would be nice if this differences are explained in the article. But it won t be easy to write a good sourced section about it. About Poland I can say that the Catholic church has been a symbol of the resistance against the communist regime before 89, and because of that it became popular. Even more so because the last pope was Polish. About other countries I don t know so much. Nico (talk) 08:09, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure the fact that the maps and stats are done 'by country' don't help- it basically implies that, for instance, you can be in a very religious town in Poland, and then go five miles south, cross the border, and now everyone is atheist, because you're in the Czech Republic. I would 'assume' this is not the case... Masternachos (talk) 06:25, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

message: user:‎Vexorg removed the caption, claiming it was biased or selective statistics. I think a figure should have a caption summarizing the main things that can be concluded from it. The caption does so by listing the countries that are most and the countries that are less religious. It does not list all countries but that i because it is a summary and this does not make it "selective statistics". 
Also it is the one who removes wants to remove content that should give an explanation for that before doing so. It is actually not up to me to go to the talk page before reverting any unexplained removal of content.Nico (talk) 12:40, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Religion in Europe's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "CBS":
From Religion in the Netherlands: 
From Gurung Dharma:

message: This article would seem the natural place to find demographically based projections about religion in Europe in the future. Or at the very least a link to such. Disappointing. 124.148.190.234 (talk) 21:08, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demographic projections missing 

message: Graph shows that 26% of Europe is Irreligious, but Irreligious only means that the person is not a current member of a religion or that perhaps they believe in an unrecognised religion. Irreligious is not the same thing as atheist or agnostic, but there are only two headings under Irreligion, those being only atheism and agnosticism. This is totally misleading as the sum impression is that all these 26% irreligious are either atheists or agnostics when that is certainly not the case. Would it be too much for Wikipedia editors to make the article more acurate?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.91.70.120 (talk) 18:53, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Excuse me, but why is the Vatican mysteriously excluded from all parts of this map? It is not even highlighted in Italy. There is just a mysterious hole where it should be, which would seem to indicate that no one believes in God In that city-state of the world. How could this be such a glaring oversight? To me, that indicates that this map is poorly researched, and incomplete. 172.0.92.190 (talk) 18:58, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No it does not mean nobody in Vatican believes, it means that nobody in Vatican city participated in the Eurobarometer survey and that there thus is no data available in the source. The white colour indicates lack of information (in the used source) rather than lack of belief in this case (I do agree it is rather confusing that the colour white has the meaning of 0% believers too).

message: Hello, i guess that the research included Turkey in Europe for some inexplicable reason but we all know that it's not. Is there a reason why an encyclopedia article places Turkey in Europe? Thank you Onoufrios d (talk) 12:42, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure why there is a mismatch between the figures of the table and the segment/bin under which countries are listed. For example (assumin the table is correct), Hungary is incorrectly listed under the 30-39% segment in the map caption - however the corresponding table showed 23% for Hungary, thus placing it correctly in the 20-29% segment. The other countries have a similar error. Is this somehow on purpose because different data is the basis for the map, or is it a mistake? 94.21.211.217 (talk) 14:54, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
