In the run-up to the 50th anniversay of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, various people and groups are setting forth their vision of Europe. Amongst these is the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, who has a decidedly Christian view of Europe, in her proposals for the “Berlin Declaration”. Humanists, and secularists (some of whom are of course of a variety of religions), opposed to such a religious viewpoint, have drafted a counterpointing Brussels Delcaration.
