Christians in Iceland Don’t Believe God Created the World

Why are young Icelanders so different from young Americans?

CHR Comment: In a recent survey, all Icelanders under the age of 34 answered that they do not believe God created the world. However, a number of these same persons responded that they were Christians. The survey perhaps does not distinguish well between belief that God directly created with world, as described in Genesis, and God creating the world through theoretical processes such as the big bang and evolution. Nevertheless, the article describes the rapid secularization of Iceland and the equally rapid decline of the Lutheran state church in that nation.

Iceland is an exception globally as the percentage of religious persons below age 34 has actually risen worldwide.
