I haven't read - obviously - all on that page..too much for my little time...but Scandinavia being very atheistic?...I don't know...just see their flags and see what you get...A churchvisitor must not necessarily be a Christian nor must an agnostic be an atheist...nor is every humanist an unbeliever...I don't think Erasmus was an unbeliever
By the way...the suiciderate as a great indicator for the (inner!?) health of a nation is very high in China...also in Sweden!!!!!...also in Switzerland...what do you make of that?
A lot of your quotes are just the sugarcoated positive side...plus the whole theory doesn't take into account, that those northern nations had a longstanding Christian tradition...and the wealth of the past is also of present benefit, isn't it?
Actually when Germany went very much astray theologically,end of the nineteenth, beginning of
the twentieth century, it soon hit bottom.You can also turn it that way.Just a matter of the angle of view.
