Superficial though and in English, but interesting for those who are not familiar with the subject.

According to Danish Dogma, Christianity was something that was started by Hans Tausen in cooperation with Martin Luther in the sixteenth century.

Hans Tausen, a peasant from Funen, not for nothing the wide acceptance of Lutheranism between small farmers and peasants in Denmark was the rule.

Where did you hear that or rather, what is your source? Hans Tausen was a friar, an acadamic and a theologian who was educated in Wittenberg, not a peasant.

That is not at all what I've heard. What I've heard is that it was decided, on the one hand, by the conflict of the nobles and the kings and the peoples sympathies to different nobles or kings in the Civil War, and secondly, from the top in the "centre" of ecclesiastical authority in the country (Viborg, where Tausen did his work of overtaking the sympathies of the authorities of the Church) and spread and enforced from top to bottom.
