Europe has joined civilisation with the birth of Greece, and later Rome.
The Roman Empire captured today's France, Belgium , England, Spain, Portugal, Morokkko, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Roumania, Balkans, Swiserland....
The Greeks captured all of Persia once too.
These civilisations were worshipping (Zeus / Jupiter) polytheism.
In north - Europe people worshipped Odin polytheism.
When the Roman empire stop killing Jews and Christians, the official religion became Christianity.
The roman empire was split in two parts, Byzantine becomes the eastern capital.
The northern -German tribes invaded west - Roman empire .
The period between 400 and 800 AD , lots of Europe is christianised.
Northern Africa and the middle east are conquered by Mohammedans.
Jewish history between -3000 and +2007 is something I am almost totally unfamiliar with.
i only know the Romans destroyed the second temple in +70.
The Jews spread around the East and the West.
They came back to Israel in 1900-2000.
So the relation of Jews and Europeans is not the best in history.
The Judeo part of our Western culture is the Thora-1st part of the Bible.
The Christian part is the 2nd part of the Bible.
The Greek / Roman and Gallic German Slavonic part are of equal importance as to Jew/Christian influence in European civilisation.
