In Sweden, it is the "minorities" that has a belief in God.
Mainstream population is atheist.
For you to be right we should thus get better and better morals the more immigrants we accepted.

Re: Religion, moral and values.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....
As far as I know, I'm still a member of the Church of Norway. The Church of Sweden works the same way, in that everyone who's mother or father belongs to the church on paper is entered into it. I renounced my membership(my moyher was still a member at the time of my birth) for the 3rd(!) time last year, but I have strong doubts that they have actually managed to strike me off their records.
The membership number in the criminal state church says absolutely nothing about how many people are religious here. The last survey I saw that had the question "Do you believe in god?" had 70% say "no". It's the same in Sweden.

Re: Religion, moral and values.
Are you actually now trying to teach me about my own country?
71,3% of Swedes are part of the church of Sweden because, guess what, you enter it from birth. To mistake that number for actual religious followers are narrow minded to say the least.
23% of Swedes believe there is not any sort of spirit, god or life force. Sure, I as an example believe in some sort of life force, how else would we have life? I am as far away from being christian as you are from a correct analysis though.
Few are born with it, even fewer know what to do with it.
Re: Religion, moral and values.
“it is impossible for an atheist to even define what morals are” ?. You should read a little bit more, you know, the Universal Human Rights thing…
The moral values of an atheist come from reasoning, not revealed by a ball of fire or after a walk in the desert without hat and having eating too much of these nice mushrooms (the ones red with blue spots).
“The increase of atheism has led to more disgusting immorality in this last 20 years than ever seen before!” You mean as the Inquisition, the burning alive of witches on the public places or the stoning to death of adulteries?
Don’t start on this, the crimes organised by various religions groups are well documented from collective suicides to pogroms…

Re: Religion, moral and values.
So, are you going to define what Christianity is then? And let me guess, it's a very liberal, modern definition of what you perceive of what 'real Christianity' is.
