Sumario:This article addresses the transformations that have been taking place in Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall, based on the relationship between religion and politics. It discusses the situation of the Eastern countries, particularly Poland, and that of those that make up the European Community, where the presence of non-Christian migrants challenges the construction of a pluralist democracy. It also shows how ethnic and religious issues emerge against the grain of a supranational project. The diversity of "faiths" (Christian, Islamic, Hindu, etc.) points not only to the transfer of the historical struggles for Christian orthodoxy to interreligious disputes, but also to the crisis of the rational and secular project that Europe seeks to carry out through through the overcoming of local ethnic and religious identities.
