I see a bunch of stupid, intolerant comments here. Throwing all religions into one bucket is an utter nonsense. Christianity has nothing in common with Islamic countries.
I’d really like to live in such a community – safe, relatively free from leftist propaganda in schools and caring about all their members.

@Kjetil I’m pretty sure then that you’d be delighted to live in North Korea. After all, they threw all the religion in the dumpster, just like you…

In reply to LAILA THOMPSON. Show me any country run by religious laws and I'll show you a country full of violence and racism. When has religion ever helped any country? Crusades? Inquisition? Burning of witches? Child rape in the churches?!

In reply to Hlin. That's a load of rubbish. Show me any country run by religious laws and I'll show you a country full of violence, racism and political turmoil. Is there more violence today than before? Maybe, maybe not. But our society has changed, there are more people and more immigration so naturally you will have changes. It's got absolutely nothing to do with more or less Christianity. Do you know how much violence and abuse that goes on inside the churches?! I grew up in a church environment myself and I'm happy I threw that religion in the dumpster where it belongs.

Yes, now that there is less Christianity, there’s more violence, people seems to care less about others and even the tradition of dugnad is almost gone. Norway is going down in the dumps. By the way, it was not the oil that made Norwegians think they are so good or better. It was the prime minister gro Harlem Brundtland, she came up with the sentence: it’s typical Norwegian to be great. Some people call her landsmoderen (mother if the country) others call her landsmorderen (murderer of the country). Go figure.

Where has tolerance and lack of Christianity helped any country!
