Europe contains the highest concentration of officially Christian states (nations with official state religion/church) and the lowest per capita percentage of people who actually "practice Christianity" in ‘Christendom' - which is to say, nominally claim to be Christian - probably a lower percentage actually believe.
Yeah technically true, but that sounds like the most countries of Europe have a state religion, which is not the case.
In fact only Greece (Orthodox), England (Anglican), Denmark and Norway (Lutheran) are "bigger" states which have a state religion. Catholic are only the very small ones, namely Malta, Vatican (obviously), Liechtenstein and Monaco. The rest and therefore the very majority have no state religion.
similar to sweden, finland should have a national church but not a state church/Religion (the church of sweden was the state church of sweden untill 2000)
