Fate is the question 1
ZH cited one aspect of a Pew survey on European culture. As usual, ZH has a talent for catching interesting stuff FAST and FIRST. The full survey is far more interesting than the one piece ZH noticed.
The overall pattern is unsurprising, corresponding to old religious and imperial divisions. Rome, Moscow, Constantinople. The old Western Roman Empire, which turned into the Papal Empire and later EU, is Soros territory. The old Ottoman and Russian Empires are God's territory.
Some of the questions are probably readings of fashion or wishful thinking rather than belief. The deepest question of all gets to the core of culture, bypassing fashions and verbal formulas.
Do you believe in Fate? Is the course of life largely preordained?
The scientific answer to this question is YES. The three empires line up neatly, with a few exceptions. Islam is firmly YES, agreeing with science and Natural Law. Eastern Orthodox is a weaker YES. Rome is NO.
