Secularism and Society in Sweden


A third Scandinavian country, Sweden, and its contemporary "liberal" culture is considered in an article on Zenit Secularism in Sweden.

    Other recent research suggests that secularism is strongest when Life Expectancy is highest (Papyrakis E., Selvaretnam G. (2011) The Greying Church: The impact of Life Expectancy on Religiosity)
