What's your religion? (sh.itjust.works)

I was born and raised in an Eastern Orthodox Christian family. Became a theistic Satanist in the 1980s - more specifically a Luciferian. It even got me a conscription exemption. Still one to this day.

Raised Scandinavian protestant which basically means you don't go to church unless someone died or got married.

Left the Church to avoid the membership fee.

Answering this question is about 1/3rd of my effort I've put into religion 2024.

None of the large churches in Scandinavia (Church of Denmark, Church of Norway, Church of Sweden, Church of Finland) are Protestant, they are Lutheran.

I just tried to correct a misstake that some people may take seriously, personally, I don't care.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

That’s not a mistake

Lutheranism is a type of protestantism

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely, I don't deny that at all, but it is defined as separate from protestantism

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Lutheran is a substet of protestant

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes?

Just as Sweden is a subset of Scandinavia.

Sometimes subsets are important.

None of the [Sweden] are [Scandinavian], they are [Sweden].
