Most people in the US have at least gotten over the whole "dating is sinful, you should COURT instead" thing. Really only the quiverfulls and their ilk still cling onto that.
My general understanding of European religious groups is that they are fewer but overall more conservative than in the US. And that some of them are anti-vaxxers, which is the opposite of the US (most religious people here are pro-vax while the anti-vaxxers tend to be new age hippies). How accurate do you think those assessments are?

(Anonymous) 2016-04-02 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)I live in a region of Germany that ws traditionally protestant since reformation, so being protestant is the default. Our communities are organized around churches (every "quarter" in German towns usual has a church, some have two, one catholic and one protestant.) but there is not much religiosity to be found there, usually. Our block has a Catholic and a protestant community, both churches are usually pretty empty but there are a handful of people who organize all kinds of events in and around the churches. Thee events are pretty popular and so are the services at holidays. That's basically the only time there is a real "community" thing going on. Culturally speaking, there is little to no difference though between catholic and protestant mainstream part time Christians except maybe that catholics tend to believe a bit more literally in god, heaven and hell.
So far for the mainstream.
there are also various sects that are more or less close to or sprouted from either, and there apparently also are communities that are part of the mainstream but more strictly religious. That's where you'll usually find more extreme views on stuff like homosexuality or extramarital sex. One example would be the pentecostal churches which are a protestant church community.
The vaccines or no-thing is also apparently more prevalent in higher educated protestant communities, especially where they merge with reformative Christian movements and alternative medicine that goes along with 1920s worldviews on medicine, nature and spirituality (the steiner schools are kinda notorious for measles outbreaks, though interestingly, from my first hand experience these schools traditionally attract more catholics).
lately, with the Internet, anti vax-sentiments and theories are bleeding out into other social circles though, to the less educated classes where people who used to just do whatever the doctor told them started to just doubt anything "traditionally" accepted and instead believe everything some site with a fancy name tells them. So without knowing exact details, from my everyday experience I'd say in Germany it's more about your personal environment and it's influences than about religion.
(The whole topic is not as strongly politically charged though (or not yet..) which I'm glad of because I've tried to have conversations about vaccines with Americans and it's really... a strange experience. I'm not anti-vax but universal critical and reluctant about unnecessary medical procedures so I skipped a few vaccines like rota and chicken pox for my kid. That's a stance you'll find quite often, without people having any kind of religious affiliation or other strong convictions or the usual pseudoscience autism and whatnot stuff.)
sorry if I'm not making much sense here but I'm sick and trying to type on my phone which always fucks up my structure. Also getting poked and my hair pulled by a 3 year old...
