Irreligion in Norway
Norway is a comparatively secular nation[1][2][3] which no longer has a state religion, though 72.7% of the 5.2 million population belong to the Church of Norway.[4][5]
A plurality of Norwegians do not believe in a god. A 2016 survey asking 4,000 people "Do you believe in God?" resulted in 39% saying "No", 37% saying "Yes" and 23% saying "I don't know".[6][7]
