How is the Finnish Orthodox Church viewed?

[poiuytrewq0987]

I'm curious how Finns view the church. Do they have positive opinion of the church, or are they neutral or negative about it?

90% don't give a shit.

8% are neutral / view it like any other religion.

1% are hardcor3 pietists and probably think its one of Satan's ploys.

1%, like myself, find it an interesting part of Finnish history, society, etc.

Finland's most known Othrodox clergyman is a social democrat, thought.

To whatever extent people think about it at all, it's usually fairly positive, or at the very least neutral.

The vast majority of the people who voted for the former Orthodox priest Mitro Repo for the EU parliament weren't Orthodox themselves.
