Which religion is Denmark’s official religion?

The official religion of Denmark is the Evangelical Lutheran faith.12

Under the Danish constitution, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark (known as the folkekirken) is recognized as the state church. While the church is state-supported and subject to legal control by the king and Parliament, it maintains significant independence in practice.32

Lutheranism was established as the country's official religion in 1536 during the Protestant Reformation, replacing Roman Catholicism. Although the majority of the population remains nominally affiliated with the state church, Denmark upholds religious freedom as a fundamental value, and the country is home to diverse religious communities, including Roman Catholics, Jews, and Muslims, as well as a significant number of non-religious individuals.32
