Sweden is one of the world's most secular and irreligious nations,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evolutionary Psychology: Original Article/Essay )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beliefs about God across Time and Countries )〕 partly because many Swedish people define themselves as irreligious but spiritual people. Phil Zuckerman, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Pitzer College, writes that several academic sources have in recent years placed atheism rates in Sweden between 46% and 85%, with one source reporting that only 17% of respondents self-identified as "atheist".〔〕 Sweden's official website asserts that that just three out of 10 Swedes state that they have confidence in the church. The article lists the following facts about religion in Sweden: * Only 1 in 10 Swedes thinks religion is important in daily life. * Around 7 out of 10 children are christened in the Church of Sweden. * Just over 5 out of 10 weddings take place in church. * Almost 9 out of 10 Swedes have Christian burials. * Only 1 in 10 Swedes has trust in a religious leader.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Only one in ten Swedes trusts religious leaders )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irreligion in Sweden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
