That sentiment feels... misguided? The EU is an economic and ideological construct, certainly not religious. The fact that some key figures were deeply religious is completely orthogonal to that. Ie France has been deeply secular since the late 1800s/early 1900s, long before its role as a founding EU state. The EU has “Christian roots” insomuch as Christianity has been a dominant religion in Europe, but implying that religion and the EU go together in some fundamental way is just wrong.
