Post-Christian European culture is already post-cultural and, with its surging Muslim populations, will soon be post-European.” KindHandsTodayChristianFormPurposeCultureExampleCivilizationCrossesUnionsAtheistHumanismPopulationDefinitionsPostsCommunistExtinctionSecularismTenseFascistsEuropean UnionAtheisticPresent Tense Author:Mark Steyn
