You want me to to copy and paste the whole article? It's not like I didn't put up the link so you could go peruse at your leisure...
Or actually read articles you post:
Despite the high membership figures, only 3% of the population regularly attend Sunday services[3][4] and only 19% of Danes consider religion to be an important part of their life.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

LOL! They're not like you: they don't believe in Bible creation story or that the flood happened or that Tower of Babel story is true or that homosexuals are an abomination or even in Jesus' miracles. Rather to them god is like Santa Clause: something they pretend to believe in certain parts of the year to get together as a family.
Here they even spell it out for you:
Quote:As many as 78 percent of the Danish population are members of folkekirken (the state church). Probably relatively few Danes would define themselves as believers, but for many Danes, folkekirken offers some traditions, which they like to use and maintain, such as baptism, confirmation, wedding and funeral.
