Stephan:   This trend is reshaping Europe. It has already changed the public conversation there. Although it is often described in terms of the sexual abuse of young people by priests I think that is only the tip of the spear for this trend. After centuries of religious conflict and millions of deaths, Europe seems to have made a collective decision that religion is not worth fighting about. This is an example of how individual choices reflecting a collective shift in the zeitgeist can change society.
