Abstract
The Danish model of religion designates the conditional ways according to which the Danish national church and other parts of the system of religion are unfolded in Danish society. The special constitutional position of the na-tional church and its dominance in terms of demography of religion explains why the national church constitutes the core of the Danish model of religion. Between this churchly core and the surrounding society the Danish model of religion has a mediate space, which harbours a number of groups and actors who are part of the model of re-ligion, though without a central position in it. The article discusses the historical de-velopment of the Danish model of religion and its characteristics. Additionally, it pro-vides some examples of groups and institutions that are placed at the fringes of the model.
