Challenges of the Institutionalization of Same Sex Marriage for Religious Pluralism in Denmark

Niels Valdemar Vinding, Emil Bjørn Hilton Saggau

Abstract

The Danish religious landscape has been significantly transformed, especially during the last three decades. This transformation is marked by the shift from near religious hegemony towards a much more diverse religious population. Originally, the Danish Lutheran state church was closely intertwined with the governmental administration of the country after the reformation in Denmark of 1536 and the peace at Westphalia in 1648.
