Religion

In the United States, religion is a big thing. We are a really religious country, in general. Of course, there are a lot of people who aren’t religious or don’t believe in God, but a majority of the country is involved in some kind of religion. No matter where you go, you can usually find a church within five miles, and oftentimes you can find numerous churches.

Norway, however, is more of an atheist country. They do have people that practice religion, of course. Some religions practiced are Catholicism, Christianity, and others like we have here in the US, along with Islam, practiced by Muslim immigrants, and there are other religions there that don’t translate in the English language. Also, in Norway, they don’t say anything like the Pledge of Allegiance. In fact, when my friend Becca was here as a foreign exchange student, she at first felt like the Pledge was a sort of cult thing! So in Norway, the majority of the country is atheist, and very few people actually do believe.
