I like to pick on them for this too, but it doesn't bother me as much as the apologists who say things like "this doesn't affect most people, you'll still be able to do what you do." I hear "it's not boiling the frog. It's no big deal if the Dutch government keeps records of peoples religion." Europeans trust governments way too much, which is crazy seeing their history, it's almost like they're domesticated. Really bizarre to me.
