      You can have both. For instance Denmark is among the least religious countries in the world, and at the same time among of the most blessed.

      That’s a fine arrangement we’ve got IMO.

          Most blessed how?

          High living standard, low on threats like naturtal disasters and plenty food including Bacon and Beer. Low crime, high on all kinds of life quality/satisfaction indexes that I know of, among the lowest on corruption and poverty. One of the highest ranking on democracy and freedom of speech.

          It sucks here.

          Maybe for you, for the majority obviously not.

            People only like it here because they are mindless drones that blindly worship the system and hold the opinions that the government wants them to. It’s lame.

              Funny you are saying that, at a time where the government is more unpopular than it has been in a long time. It’s unpopular on both the left and right, and even among members of the government parties. Sorry if it offends, but you sound a bit like maybe you’re in a dark place. Or maybe you are just trolling IDK.

                No, you are just living in unicorn and rainbow land. Denmark has a very close-minded and ignorant culture. People that have opinions that differ from the norm are labeled as “weird” or just simply cut off socially. Also, no matter what you say about the “government being unpopular”, Danes still blindly worship and defend ridiculous socialism and money-wasting policies in the name of environmentalism or the likes. Your response to my comments just goes to prove my point.

                  Denmark has a very close-minded and ignorant culture.

                  Denmark is generally pretty progressive, and we were among the first countries to allow same sex partnerships to be registered equal to marriage. We are a very open society, where you may believe and have what political or sexual orientation you want. That’s the exact opposite of close minded.

                  Danes still blindly worship and defend ridiculous socialism

                  Denmark does not defend socialism. Socialism is about workers taking control of production. Denmark is capitalist and we have democracy, we are what you may call a caring capitalist state, and that is what we defend.

                  money-wasting policies in the name of environmentalism or the likes. I have no idea what you mean. In the 70’s we began to invest like many other countries in alternative energy, mainly wind-turbines, today wind-turbines are one of the cheapest energy sources that exist. Generally Denmark spend money pretty sensibly, in part because several political parties need to agree.

                  People that have opinions that differ from the norm are labeled as “weird”

                  I can’t speak to your personal experience, but yes sometimes people don’t understand things outside the norm, but it seems to me you are the one to be judgemental here.
