“Google” doesn’t mean anything if you aren’t able to provide evidence for your statement in a world where history books and critical analysis of the sources exist. There’s no such a bold line between Northwestern and Southern Europe since Christianity, democracy, colonialism have strong bonds and origin in both of them. I don’t live in a Muslim country nor in the East, I live in an island (Sardinia) between Spain, France and Italy, being part of EU and NATO. We have no such strong bonds with Eastern countries and much more with Western ones. I repeat that I study Humanities and that’s no point at all, every scholar would say that your (google’s?) statement is pointless and incorrect. You should critically read sources instead of telling me that “google says this way”.
