Abstract

The motto “United in diversity”, which officially began to be used by the EU institutions in 2000, still seems to have been a wise choice that, honouring the classic adagio Pluribus Unum, makes a present commitment with a project for the future. Nevertheless, almost two decades after the beginning of the third millennium, uncertainty hangs over the balance between the two terms of the binomial. In fact, the European continent is destined to become more diverse in the next few decades, also from a religious perspective, even though there are some clouds of doubt on the horizon about how such pluralism will affect its degree of unity. It generates a problem of integration for the European Union that should be addressed properly.
