They pointed out that there was a huge diversity of Church-State arrangements in Europe and that more than half the population of Europe lived in non-secular States. They added that State symbols inevitably had a place in state education and that many of these had a religious origin, the [[Cross]] – which was both a [[w:List of national flags depicting a cross|national]] and a religious symbol – being the most visible example. In their view, in non-secular European States the presence of religious symbols in the public space was widely tolerated by the secular population as part of national identity. States should not have to divest themselves of part of their [[w:cultural identity|cultural identity]] simply because that identity was of religious origin. The position adopted by the Chamber was not an expression of the pluralism manifest in the Convention system, but an expression of the values of a [[w:secular State|secular State]]. To extend it to the whole of Europe would represent the “[[w:Americanisation|Americanisation]]” of Europe in that a single and unique rule and a rigid [[w:separation of Church and State|separation of Church and State]] would be binding on everyone.</ins></div></td></tr>
