I recently read a newspaper article about #religion in Sweden. The Swedes are one of the more secularized people, and religious practice is low and decreasing: those majestic churches are nearly empty, that article said, with a somewhat worried tone. And in a not-very-far future, it went on, the Church of Sweden may disappear and #islam may become the most popular religion in the country.

(I am not religious, and I don't know if I should regard that as good or bad.)

@Oct326 The islamophobia is misplaced I think. I suspect the situation is similar in Switzerland. There, it is mostly the old that go to church and Iโ€™m sure the children of current immigrants will lose their faith just as fast as previous immigrants (Italians, for example).
