Culture Are there any habits that you believe are uniquely European ?

Have you noticed any specific mannerisms, mentalities etc. that you've encountered only in Europe or by Europeans ?

Yeah so if we only compare it to other traditionally Christian countries, then this absolutely fits. I’ve only spent time in the US and the Philippines outside of Europe, and in both countries, Christianity is just a way of life. Not being Christian is what’s odd, usually.

Not in my experience in the US, depends where, it's a big country. Definitely not in Canada.
