Religion in Denmark

Of the religions in Denmark, the most prominent is the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark. Other faiths include Roman Catholics and Muslims. In general, the Danes are not very religious, with church attendance being generally low.

With the exception of the Church Ministers (and only some of them), you will not generally not find politicians using religious retorics and arguments, especially not government ministers. The Christian Democrats is the only major political party which regularly uses religious retorics and arguments and their influence is very low with only around 2% of voters backing them.
