Is the Pope telling them not to use condoms?

Denmark is invariably cited by atheists as a model atheist state. Any membership in the Lutheran Church is purely nominal. I lived there for a year as part of a student exchange program. It is overwhelmingly atheist. On R&S,atheists crow incessantly to the effect that Catholicism is the root of overpopulation; you raise an interesting point,since their population density is in fact one of the highest in the world. Obviously,they are free to practice birth control. Clearly if they practiced what they preach they would not be so overpopulated. I think you rank it a little too high - the Gaza Strip has the highest density the last I heard,and there are others. But in Denmark it is very high. So you do raise a valid point.
I see you got the usual ignorant crew of rabid atheists spewing filthy language and infantile insults. It's good to give them an oppportunity to display their cruelty and immaturity.

Population density is not a measure. The birth rate and population growth rate in Denmark are low.

Sorry but your question makes no sense.
Denmark is not an "Atheist country" nor does it have a high population density.
What would the Pope have to do with a country where most people are members of non catholic religions?

Denmark doesn't have one of the highest population densities. To the idiot who said Denmark has one of the highest suicide rates. Big whoop, America's suicide rate is still higher than Denmarks.

Well, I don't know about the population, but I know that they have one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
Do you think that there may be a relationship with being atheists ?

>>Is the Pope telling them not to use condoms?<<
The Church in Denmark broke away from the Catholic Church almost 500 years ago.

Huh? According to Wikipedia (admittedly not the most reliable source):
"According to official statistics from January 2006, 83.0% of Danes are members of the Lutheran state church, the Danish People's Church (Den Danske Folkekirke), also known as the Church of Denmark. 4% of the Danish population adhere to Islam, and other religions in Denmark, include non-Lutheran Christian denominations."

Furthermore, according to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population_density
... Denmark is ranked at 78th of 230 countries in pop.density. Nowhere near the top.
I'm guessing your question is a joke.

Same reason Utah has the highest Nutjob density.

Long winters, long nights without a lot to do besides snuggle, good prenatal care.
