“The ideas that define Western civilization, Nietzsche said, are based on Christianity.

This illusion, Nietzsche warns us, is just that. Remove Christianity and the ideas fall too.”

“It is true: Europe is no club of christians. But the following is also true: Europe is a club of core values. Here Human and Civil Rights apply. These Human and Civil Rights substantially are based on the christian idea of man.”

Angela Merkel (1954) Chancellor of Germany
