Nope, 100 years ago Scandinavians had rigid ultra conservative Luteran societies. They were not Nordic back then?
Well no ffense, but Estonian pont of view means ratt's arse. Scientific research would put objective criteria (church attnedance, number of people who are baptised, number of people who at least few times in year take part in relgious ceremonies), and than would compare findings in various European countries. According to all survies Czechs are least relgious.
BTW, Slovaks are not religous. Except of Estonia you are rather ignorant on European matters. (You tried to define Moscow as Southern Europe, despite it being more on north than Copenhagen)
Czechs lived under Communism for half of centur, its kind natural to be religious.

Yes, and we are not religious. I mean, Croats are most religious in ex-YU, thats true. But you see, I am in Church every week and hollyday, and whenever I can from classes I am going on Evening and Morning services. There are in place with some 1000 Orthodox Serbs, 30-40 people in Chruch which could accomodate 400, ever weak. On Morning and Evening Services, its 2-3 people. Offten just priest and chorister. Not something you would consider religous society.

Maybe you are more focused on Christianity, but wouldn't Bosniaks be the most religious?
Aren't you a priest? If so it is nothing strange for you trying to attend Church as much as possible.But you see, I am in Church every week and hollyday, and whenever I can from classes I am going on Evening and Morning services. There are in place with some 1000 Orthodox Serbs, 30-40 people in Chruch which could accomodate 400, ever weak
From my observations when passing by Churches it depends from Church to Church. On work days in some Churches there can be 2-3 people inside also, while Sundays are a different story.On Morning and Evening Services, its 2-3 people. Offten just priest and chorister. Not something you would consider religous society.

Emh, most of them drink alchohol, go in Mosque few times in year, do not fast, and many of them eat pork. I saw it personally. They are maybe least religous of all.
Technicaly, I am not. I am waiting ordination. But, yes I will be. And yes, I am going in Church regularily, but it acctually gives me oportunity to see how religious Serbs are.And they are barely. Ok, maybe its significant for Europe as whole. But Greeks, and even Russians have higher percentage of trully relgious people. Not self-declerative nationalists, whose all Christianity is to make sign of cross when they are scared.
Yes I agree, but my point was we, ex-Yugos are hardly among top religious people in Europe. Comunism left traces here. Nothign strange.

Poles, Russians, Italians, Spaniards, Greeks. We are maybe religous considering selfidentification. But problem is, man who declares himself to be Orthodox or Roman Catholic, and goes in Church on Christmass and Easter (in Serbain Orthdox case, also add when he is going before his patron saint day, to have his koljivo blessed), really does not fit description of religous man. He is not Atheist, since he could be verry assured in existance of God, but again you cant be religious if you dont practice religon or barely practice it. Sorry for hi-jacking topic.
