According to a new study conducted by the Danish Bible Society, an increasing number of young Danes are taking an interest in questions of faith, reading the Bible, and attending church services.

The findings are presented in the report God and the Danes: An Analysis of Faith 2026, published in the spring of 2026. Based on a survey of 3,000 residents of Denmark, the study shows that religiosity among young people is noticeably higher than among older generations, reports inVictory.

Young people are also significantly more likely to attend church. While only 10% of the country’s population as a whole attended a church service during the past month, the figure rises to 26% among young people.

The study revealed another noteworthy trend: young men in Denmark today demonstrate greater religious engagement than young women.

Approximately 34% of young men reported that they had attended a Christian worship service, either in person or online, during the previous month, excluding weddings, baptisms, and funerals. One in five young men, or 21%, reads the Bible independently at least once a week.

In addition, men are more likely to speak about spiritual experiences that have influenced their faith or worldview.

The authors of the study believe that these changes are taking place against the backdrop of a more open public conversation about religion. Whereas faith in Denmark was previously regarded as an exclusively private matter, Christianity and spirituality are now increasingly becoming topics of public discussion.

Politicians, cultural figures, athletes, and ordinary citizens speak openly about faith. Social media also plays a significant role, providing new Christian communities and platforms for discussions of spiritual issues.

Experts believe that the study’s findings may indicate gradual changes in Denmark’s religious landscape. For many years, Denmark has been regarded as one of the most secular countries in Europe.
