State Church of Denmark

The State Church of Denmark, also known as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark, is the national church and the largest religious denomination in Denmark. It has a special relationship with the government, meaning it is officially recognized and receives state support. While membership is automatic at birth for those with Danish parents, individuals can choose to leave the church. The church plays a significant cultural and historical role in Danish society, conducting ceremonies like baptisms and weddings, and it also emphasizes community service and outreach. Denmark is known for religious tolerance, allowing various beliefs to coexist.
