The official Church of Denmark is Evangelical Lutheran which is stated in the 4th paragraph of the Danish Constitution. Religion plays a role in the lives of the Danish during events such as births and deaths. But like other Scandinavian countries, Denmark is largely secularized, and with the exceptions of occasions such as births and deaths, religion does not play a large part in public life. Still, approximately 80-85% of Danes are members of the Church of Denmark with about 5% of Evangelical Lutherans attending weekly services. In Copenhagen, around 66% of the population is counted among the church membership. Roughly 13% do not adhere to any particular religious belief.<ref>"[http://www.denmark.net/denmark-guide/religion-denmark.html Religion in Denmark]" denmark.net</ref> | The official Church of Denmark is Evangelical Lutheran which is stated in the 4th paragraph of the Danish Constitution.
