Should Sweden Change Its Flag

SafeSurfer

Sweden is seen as a very progressive country which embraces equality and diversity. Is it sustainable for it to retain its national flag, which contains such overt Christian symbolism?

Sweden actually has a state religion which is christianity.

Just like Norway , Iceland , Malta, the UK ( 1701 Act of Establishment,) etc. Makes sense for the flag to be christian.

And people probably have an attachment to it.

And lets face it sweden IS a tolerant place to live.

Unlike china ..where religion is a pariah..but minorities are still persecuted.

Lackadaisical

Sweden has a state church so that's not likely to be happening any time soon.

There was a story before about them removing crosses from Swedish churches as not to offend Muslims

Something similar-ish has already been done with a brand of Greek youghurt that sells across Europe at all german discount stores. The packaging was deemed too offensive, so the small cross was airbrushed out.

Yes it was only one church that bishop Eva Brunne proposed the changes for.

Some guy in Lidl made a calculated decision that by removing the crosses they could potentially increase sales.

I think they should get rid of the flag and also close down every single University in the world... for consistency like!

It's bad enough that Catholics cover up child abuse, but the cover up of inventing Unnversities when Europe was happily living in excrement is something that must not go unpunished.

Google disagree's with you.

Personally I hate all religious symbols equally so I couldn't really give a tup'pennys fvck but it seems (after a quick Google search) as though crosses are being removed in Sweden and other European countries.

Actually like all the nordic countries, Lutheranism is the state religion

malinheader

Definitely not. Keep their flag and put up more crosses. Might deter some other easy offended types entering their country.

I’m not mad on Sweden, but the flag is a big plus.

Frida. The dark-haired one. She was Norwegian with a German soldier father, which as you can imagine, made for some fun times in post-war Norway. That's why they moved to Sweden.
