Denmark still has a state church, which means that people automatically become members on birth.

How is this germane

In Denmark , there are adherents of Islam , Baha'i Faith , Buddhism , and Neopaganism - these only constitute 20 percent of Denmark's population .

Norway made it possible for people to opt out from the state church just last week and only 15,000 opted out with 3.8 million Norwegians opting to stay back as members of the church .

You just presented data from online polls where a picayune percentage of the population participated cheesy. Atheism is no where close to a majority in Europe . As at 2010 the number of atheists globally are only 136 million .

Don't confuse irreligion with atheism .

There is no proof you are Swedish . Stop making claims - no one is concerned with where you came from

Notoriously hard to estimate faith. At the end self reporting is the only actual figure. And I don't confuse atheism with irreligiousness. I have never stated that the majority is self proclaimed atheists... I am because I have choose to adopt the label, which makes me odd, as non belief is assumed. It's nothing I need to say. As I said in another thread, saying I am an atheist is like proclaiming 'I dont collect stamps!' People find it weird that such a thing is needed. It isn't needed in scandinavia, but it's seems to be another story in certain countries :-)

It requires an actual opt out. Most people simply don't bother. Religion is simply put not important enough to bother about here. I do, because I see the harm of it in other countries. That its no longer affect normal life in the nordics doesn't mean irrational belief systems is good.

Atheism is an irrational belief system and has held its adherents in mental slavery for a long time . E.g Soviet Union , North Korea and 20th century China .

Do you know that atheists have made very little accomplishments through out the history of mankind ? Do you know that atheism is culpable for the death of millions ?

Do you know that atheists are filled with so much hatred and anger ?

To be honest, it's not Kingebukasblog fault. Christianity propagated itself by demonizing alternative world views and ideologies. For Christianity to be true, all other religions must be false. They deceive themselves they have something special, whole we see them for the nonsense they are - grown kids wishing for superpowers.

Funny, every country on that list is far better than us in every societal index, including North Korea. You're just a typical Nigerian Christian with little knowledge of the world, apart from your Google search lists.


Imagine yourself to be a foreigner and do some searches for Nigeria. You'd be marvelled at the achievements of its Christian leaders.

You guys and your pathetic reasoning cannot contend with Christians in those countries . Imagine discussing with a Christian in rich Denmark and you say " religion holds you back "

Hahahaha, he's a fool in whose head I will live forever. It's nice to have free accommodation, you know.

Don't mourn me. Mourn the fact that the number 1 African forum has pervs, sickos and sadists as moderators. Led by a so-called atheist who questions God while acting like one. It's unbelievable - the iron for the irony fit build stadium.

With mods banning me for 'misrepresenting the reason' for which I was previously banned I don't see how I'd respect them.
