I live in Denmark. Here, only 2% of people go to church on a regular basis. Which means if you take 1000 danes at random, you can expect that the 980 of them never go to church (expect, possibly, at Christmas for traditional reasons). There is absolutely no evolution/creation "controversy" here. All schools, teachers, parents etc. agree that the only way to go is to teach evolution. The few "intelligent design" proponents are regarded as non-scientific and dogmatic by almost everyone, including the press.
There is absolutely no pressure to be religious, and nothing stigmatizing or wrong about publicly being an atheist.
What's your opinion about all this?

About the suicide rate question below: Denmark had 29 suicides per 100,000 people in 1998. The US had 22 suicides per 100,000 people in 1999. So, there really isn't much of a difference.

I was involved with a Christian mission,based in Denmark called;"The Bridge International"..A team from the U.S. hooked up with the Danish team and invaded Vilnius Lithuania.(back in the Soviet Union days). The church that I visited in Denmark,was powerful and not representative of the majorly secularized nation that Denmark has become. I have very fond memories of the country and peoples that I was associated with.

Doesn't Denmark have a high suicide rate?
According to this: http://www.mcdl.org/Stats/gnpsuicide.htm it's in the top 3.
That doesn't sound happy to me
Edit: I'm from the UK not USA

Well, maybe it's because they're all so big and tall compared to everyone else? I don't think anyone really gives a **** about them anyway.
