Is it true that western Europe is made up of many countries but they all have the same religion and speak the same language?

Answer 1

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.
