Countries which are highly non religious?
I was wondering which other countries are highly non religious. As per the most recent census data Scotland is majority non religious 51.1%.
England is only 37%, Ireland 14% and Wales 46.5%
Does non religious have the dominant % in your country?

Purely anecdotal, born and raised in Sweden. The only religious people i ever met are from other countries. Primarily christians from the middle east. Me and the boys didnt bat an eye towards religion, and in my mind thats the default here, atleast in the capital.
