Just looking at the map is definitely misleading. While most Finns belong to the Lutheran Christian church (75% according to Wikipedia), the vast majority aren't religious at all. People belong to the church because that's just the way it is, you're supposed to belong to it. They go to church for weddings and funerals, and that's that. No one in their right mind believes in god as he's depicted in the bible, although most undoubtedly do believe in god in the sense that there is some sort of greater force out there; that your existence doesn't just end when you slip on the stairs. It's a very vague god, though, with everyone basically making up their own mind about what it means.
What surprises me the most about the map is how there seems to be such a huge difference between Sweden and Finland. From everything I've seen, I've always thought that religion is almost exactly the same way over there? (66% Lutheran Christian says Wikipedia)
Finland's also just plain coloured wrong.
It should be at least one shade lighter. (Exact same a religious person percentage as USA, and less than Kazakhstan)
