correlated with suicide ? lets see your research and proof buddy. people who choose not to follow religion actually have common sense. if you want to believe in a fairy tale thats your choice.

actually, Lithuania has the highest suicide rate in the hole world. Lithuania is the most religious country of the baltic states, Estonia and Latvia have high suicide rates too, but that's because of our depressive history.

Especially estonians who are just cold people. (kinda like the finns but more depressed :P )

I would highly recommend the book Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. You have to really concentrate because it is deep but it is real good read especially for an agnostic or athiest.

i am a true atheist, and i feel that life is awesome!
i don't need no god to tell me how to live, i am independent, and proud of it.

also, i am a swede, and i was very happy to see that we are one of the most religously independent countries in the world (almost makes me a tad nationalistic)

i must agree with you. i'm of part-swedish descent and have had the pleasure of travelling to sweden. i did not find that swedes are atheists like a lot of americans think. i just think they are highly civilized people who don't feel the need to mention god's name every five seconds, wear harvest crusade t-shirts, or have bumper stickers like real men know god. a lot of americans have the misconception that should a country or nationality not be so religious, they should be called godless. but when in reality, less religion results in less unrest between people. christian fanatics always claim that the answer to all their problems is god and religious devotion to even the point of fanaticism. that is why we have incidents like waco, texas, jim jones, money hungry tv evangelists, countless catholic priests molesting boys, kkk neo-nazi christian right wingers and their violence against ethnic minorities, gays and jews. this sort of thing doesn't happen often in sweden, a "godless nation".

'Europe is mostly religious, albeit closet religious. It's only in times of controversy like the Muslim prophet pictures that the religious in Europe rear their ugly head.'

Ever been to somewhere else (in Europe/Scandinavia) than Sweden? For example let's take Estonia (10th place). Almost half of it's people are from other countries (mainly Russia) and they do believe in God. But the r e a l Estonians are not religious. Okay, a small percent is but a small one. Which means that actually most of Estonia is not religious.

No need to attack Sweden here, mmkay?

we kinda make fun of people who believe in god :)

imaginary friends - that's what they are.

PS: russians in Estonia believe in god, not the estonians themselves.

Oh, and according to wikipedia, Estonia is the least religious country in Europe. (not sweden)

and depressive history - estonia has been invaded by 13 different countries trough ages.

And we were like slaves. (well, not Like slaves, we Were slaves)
