An interesting NPR story discusses religious pluralism in India (discussion can link experiences to Europe's history here).
In other news, Philip Jenkins's new book God's Continent: Christianity, Islam, and Europe's Religious Crisis (Oxford University Press, 2007) covers important ground and offers interesting and provocative claims. Read an exerpt here. Read a New York Sun review here, Christianity Today review here, Catholic On-line review here, a Publisher's Weekly summary here, and a First Things review here. (Please note other reviews I've missed in the Comments.)
God's Continent is the third installment in Jenkins's appraisal of contemporary religion in a global context, preceded by The Next Christendom (2003; rev. ed. 2007) and The New Faces of Christianity (2006).

All of this provides really interesting material for teaching European history (not to mention world history).
