Religion in Denmark
What people believe — religious affiliation and those with no religion.
Nearly 60% of people in Denmark report having no religion, a figure far higher than across the state or nation. This shift reflects a significant change in the local community, as the number of non-religious residents has climbed steadily in recent years.
Religious affiliation
