Iceland
Lutheran heritage and rapidly secularizing — Church of Iceland mostly cultural; growing "no religion".
Localized version for English
Iceland is religiously mixed and largely secular as a country. The dominant religious context is: Lutheran heritage and rapidly secularizing — Church of Iceland mostly cultural; growing "no religion".
Iceland is largely secular as a national culture, and the deconstructions happening here are concentrated in specific sub-communities rather than the country as a whole. Pick the pillar page that fits the specific tradition you grew up in — Catholic, evangelical, Pentecostal, JW, Orthodox Jewish, or Muslim — the broader country context is comparatively forgiving.
Leaving organized religion in Iceland is, for most people, a private and largely social affair. The wider culture is secular enough that being non-religious is unremarkable, and the cost is mostly inside the immediate family rather than across the community.
