According to the World Value’s Survey, Sweden is one of the most secular countries in the world. In other words, the importance of religion in people’s daily lives is much less than in many other cultures.
And this is shown in an analysis released by the Church of Sweden’s chief analyst, Jonas Bromander. he claims that in the next ten years, the church will lose one million members´and this will lead to a loss of 1.5 billion kronor for the organisation. The obvious consequence of this will be cutbacks amongst the 23,000 employees and that many of Sweden’s 3700 churches will have to be shut down.
Is this the cause or the effect of Sweden’s secularisation?
