The Problem with Christians

[TheRocketSurgeon]

The argument on our side was that Denmark is a secular society, despite the existence of an official state church as a relic of its theocratic past.

He's (as usual) bending facts to the shape of his prejudices.

Hanky, meet Huggy. Enjoy!

No, it was made pretty clear we were talking about the government of Denmark.

I think you can also make a case for the society not being all that secular when 84 percent of the population support the church with taxes.

Although there is freedom of religion, there is no equality of religion, as the state sponsors only one church – the Evangelical Lutheran Church called Folkekirken, the “People’s Church.” It receives some twelve percent of its income from the state, but its largest source of income is the church taxes paid by its members. Most Danes – 84.7 % in 2001 – are members of the church, yet very few of them actively participate in it.  

"...yet very few of them actively participate in it." You're doing it again!

For fuck's sake, I'll let the Danes tell you themselves:

Compared with most other countries in the world, Denmark’s societal institutions and popular mentality have been shaped by Christianity to an exceptional degree. It can be asserted that religion is more firmly entrenched in Danish society than in many other countries.

In practice, Christianity today comes to the fore, however, primarily during solemnisations surrounding birth and death. That is to say like the other Nordic countries, particularly Sweden, Denmark is  also among the world’s most secularised countries, in which religion and Christianity play only a minor, often indirect, role in public life.
