Do you think secularism is killing the christianity of Europe? How will Turkeys inclusion to Europe affect the situation of Christianity in western Europe?

Secularism has already killed the Christianity of Europe, long ago. The Turks are more Christian than we are. Do you know what was considered the worst hindrance for including Turkey to Europe? They wanted to make a law that punishes adultery. That was not tolerated in the Christian Europe. They had accepted anything, but not that. Ok, of course it is not the task of the government to punish adultery and it is a really bad idea, and again, only the women would be declared guilty and would have to suffer. But the outcry was not only because of that, but because adultery is considered normal in Europe. The politicians said that the Turkish idea "did not fit into our understanding of moral." Our chancellor and foreign minister have married 5 times each. Of course the Turks later changed their mind and dropped their plans to punish adultery, in order to be more acceptable for Europe.
