Indhold: Denmark is among the most secular countries in the world. American sociologist Phil Zuckerman has labelled our country "Society without God". Religion is, however, not without significance in Denmark. 90 percent of the population are members of religious communities, 80 percent of the National (Evangelical-Lutheran) Church. Atheists in Denmark are often "Lutheran Atheists". In the background of brief introduction to Danish History, in particular Church History, this course will explore the special Danish form of secular religion combined with religious secularism which was part of the background of the Cartoon Crises sparked off from Denmark in 2006. The course will end by an introduction to the theology of N.F.S. Grundtvig, who is considered the modern father of Church and State in Denmark.
