I live in Sweden and here it's very different... 
* Almost 8 out of 10 Swedes are members of the Church of Sweden - 7 million.
* Only 1 in 10 Swedes thinks religion is important in daily life.

According to the most recent Eurostat "Eurobarometer" poll, in 2005,[50] 23% of Swedish citizens responded that "they believe there is a god", whereas 53% answered that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 23% that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, god, or life force". Sweden ranks aside with France and Russia on having a large minority of its citizens who have no religion.

That might seem low to you, but to me it seems strangely high. Because I have never in my life met a swedish devoted christian and the christians I have met are very... non-religious. They basicly just believe in heaven and and after-life and that's their whole belief and I don't really consider that christian. That could be any belief. Most people here just say that they believe in "something" whilst the rest say that they believe in nothing, there's no god, nothing supernatural, you die and then you're gone. All of my friends, and parents of friends, my parents etc, where all atheists.
