(London Independent) Thousands of people have left the Church of Denmark following a nationwide advertising campaign by the country’s atheist society.
Between April and June, 10,000 people left the church – the highest number of registered withdrawals since 2007.
A campaign by the Danish Atheist Society is being held responsible for the number of leavers – double that recorded between January and March.
The campaign’s banner advert includes phrases such as “Why believe in a god?”, “Why should faith cost something?” and “Did Jesus and Mohammed speak with a god?”
