Last serious chance for Israel to score points, given New Zealand's usual.....odd voting pattern?

That probably really depends on where in Europe. Anything Catholic is barely a thing at all here, especially in my part of the country (the northern half) it's really just the non-Catholic Christian things (protestant or whatever it's all called...just not catholic with the saints and the masses and all that ).

How many languages are services offered in? My school's church held mass in 4-5 different languages I believe.

First ever points for Greece from me!
And USA getting points again, something has changed

 

And that India song - I loved the beginning, the melody, the music... such a joyful and peculiar song. It may be cheesy a bit but I loved it!

 

PS Denmark, we are done after this!

I was really scared when I saw how overwhelmingly impactful the topic of religion is in the United States. I've watched this Youtube video recently discussing LGBT and the conversation was completely derailed by Catholicism. 

 

Here in Lithuania, older generation is religious mostly, but I personally don't know anybody going to church on a Sunday. Although, Catholicism is really used as a scapegoat to hate on all of the minorities in the country, because people don't want to take accountability of their own hateful feelings/thoughts and choose to hide behind the 'Bible said so'... 

 

It's really annoying how you can be an absolute awful prick just because of your religious beliefs.

I'd say that too depends on where you are. In the somewhat Catholic south of the country it might be one or two (depending on how big the city is), but I assume one. Like I said, the northern half doesn't really have the Catholic things and masses, but regular church services, which I assume are done in one language. Haven't gone to one in many, many, many years, but I assume in my town an unfortunate amount of people in those services don't even speak anything else than Dutch...

Croatia 12pts I guess.
