A Roman Catholic church set in western europe, to represent the majority of religions.
The dominant religion in Western Europe is Roman Catholicism by far. It is followed by Protestant, none, and unspecified, but those only have one tenth of the amount of Roman Catholics. Roman Catholic influences are high in Western Europe, but very prominent in France, where 83% of the population is Roman Catholic. The famous chapel Notre Dame, or Our Lady in French, is a Catholic church. In Germany Protestants and Roman Catholics each make up 34% of the population. Many elaborately decorated churches are in Germany, like the Church in the Meadows. Other religions like, Islam and Judaism, are present in the region, but they have much less followers.
