@Fenrir If you dont mind me asking, how Christian are Norwegians ?
75% of Norwegians identify as Evangelical Lutheran, but religiosity is on the decline and now a majority of Norwegians identify as irreligious. Norway is typically described as being more culturally religious - using Christian themes and values in its institutions - rather then practicing religious - Norwegians aren't ardent practitioners of religion, most practice religious principles, customs or traditions during special times like the holiday season or weddings.
Officially over 3.8 Million Norwegians identify as Lutheran with Catholicism the second largest Christian denomination at a pitiful 120,000 persons barely beating out Islam with a similar number of practioners, both making up around 2% of Norway's population. But in practice Norwegians aren't very religious.
