What describes the relationship of the western European working class to organized religion in the late nineteenth century?
In the late nineteenth century, the relationship between the western European working class and organized religion was complex. While some workers remained devoutly religious and viewed religion as a source of comfort and community, many others became disillusioned with organized religion due to its ties to the ruling classes and the perceived failure of religious institutions to address social and economic injustices. This led to a growing trend of secularism and socialist movements that sought to challenge the authority of the church and promote a more secular society.
Is it true that western Europe is made up of many countries but they all have the same religion and speak the same language?
No it is not true. Western Europe is made of many countries, yes, but they do not all follow the same religion or speak the same language. Nearly every country in Western Europe (and truly all of Europe) has their own language, usually similar to the name of that country [German for Germany, French for France, Italian for Italy, etc.]. Religion also varies greatly across Western Europe. The southern portion of Western Europe is predominately Catholic, which all of Western Europe was at one point, while the northern portion of Western Europe is predominately Protestant. The Pope is the head of the Catholic church, who resides in and is the head of Vatican City, a microstate. However, people started believing the Catholic church was corrupt and started to branch off and form their own religions, known as the Protestant Reformation. For example, England created their own religion, Anglicanism, where the head of the church is the head of the state, currently Queen Elizabeth II. Lutheranism is another major Protestant religion and can be found mainly in the Scandinavian countries and Germany.
