country people different
I would not say Denmark is a multicultural country, but more people live here now who have different roots, backgrounds and religions, more than 30 years ago. This also applies to religions.

people denmark remember
I hope people will remember me as one who did her best - and who wasn't an anachronism.

I can, of course, think what I want, just like everyone else. I simply have to refrain from saying everything I think.

And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction,

Luther and the Reformation were of fundamental importance to Denmark. We Danes are still Lutherans today. We spoke about him a lot in school, and we feel very close to him.
