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.

"...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.

Your point is moot.
What I clearly said was that the debate was about the government of Denmark, not the society.
What I said above however is that "I think" a case can be made for even the society not being all that secular, when the majority of Danes supports the church financially.
And by the way, that debate happened about 8 months before you even joined the forum, how are you so emotionally invested all of the sudden?
