I live in Denmark in Europe, and the church attendance here is 2.5%. In other words, 975 out of every 1000 people do not attend church. As a Dane myself, I can tell you that the Danes do not substitute churchgoing for other kinds of religious activity. I personally don't know a single person who prays. People simply aren't religious at all.
What is your opinion about this?

Don't advertise it -- you'll be inundated by evangelicals!!!
Yet Denmark is thought of as a very peaceful nation. In the U.S. I would guess that at least 30 percent of Americans attend religious services. Does the world think of us as a peaceful nation?

sometimes it is just not all about praying or going to church, I think is more important if people do good actions. i.e. help your neighbor,poor people etc.
so I dont really see a problem about your cuntry"s church attendance, if they are worry about what is going around the world and are trying to help at least a little bit. but if instead people are selfish and just worry about themselves, maybe it will help a little if they become more spiritual rather than religious.

Wow! When's the next flight to Denmark? That's where I'd love to live! A religion-free paradise, if you'll forgive the paradox... :-)

I think it's great that the people feel comfortable in making their own choices about their lives without having religion forced upon them.

it is very sad they are all so busy thinking of their lives they forget the after life
