What about European Orthodox countries? Does civilization only tie to catholic religion?
- jowea 3y agoOnly person I know to try to actually sit down and draw civilization borders was Huntington and put the Orthodox on a separate but linked civilization to the Western world, but even he admitted that's arguable. Although even then Poland counts as West.
