So being automatically registerd as a member of the Church upon birth is somehow NOT "invoking" religion? How is this secularism?
You forgot to quote the next paragraph.
Quote:This amalgamates into what I for want of a better label would label a secularised Lutheranism as a dominant cosmology in Denmark. Although Denmark (and Sweden) is a country in which most of the citizens by tradition belong to the State church, Christianity as a religion does not characterize the life of any large segment of the population. The number of churchgoers on any regular Sunday is below 5 percent of the adult population and even on the religious holidays (with the exception of the Christmas Eve service) doesn’t rise much above that. A good 80 percent of the population can be characterized as “secular” in the sense that religious practices do not play any part in their daily life. Nor do they to any substantial extent support the Christian-Democratic political party—in Denmark that party attracts approximately 2 percent of the voters in general elections.
I didn't forget anything, once again, the subject was on the secularist of the GOVERNMENT of Denmark...
Explain how the emboldened part helps your argument for the GOVERNMENT of Denmark being secular.

Although I suspect your intent was different, I will consider this exchange a mere clarification of terms. I am gracious. My offer to only solicit an admission of error and forego my right to demand apology still stands. Will you accept?
