And that's entirely your own free choice. People here do so mostly because it's pretty much tradition at this point. And the easiest way. Weddings and funerals aren't held in churches because of religion, but because it's just traditional to hold it there. As far as religious beliefs go, they might as well be held in some dark alley behind a warehouse. Everybody's religion and beliefs here are their own, I'd say. Same with the ceremonies themselves. They're just leftovers of religion. By now, it's no different than the Finnish people eating ham on Christmas, and chocolate eggs on Easter. Or getting drunk and falling from boats on Midsummer. Just plain tradition.

Belonging to the Lutheran Christian church is just the common way here. A mundane thing. It's really no different than having your own name.
