Europe is Catholic concept, it's roots are pagan, it's spirituality is Christian.
How can you claim there was no European religion before Christianity, but then make note of pagan roots? Indo-European religion was firmly established long before Judaism, and variants of it might have even had an influence on the latter. Hint: Zoroaster. You may be quiveling over using the word Europe to describe the broad lands and cultures associated with the word, but established religious traditions were already in place before the introduction of Christianity. I understand if you see the revival of such religions as a difficult endeavor, but claiming they never existed is ignorant and destructive behavior which your more ancient ancestors would view with shame.
