- MrJagil 10y agoMost of those do not interfere with the lives of the average Danish citizen. Church tax is interesting though, and highly debated. Everyone's leaving the churches, especially in Copenhagen. Many teenagers deregisters from the Church of Denmark[0] to save money; the usual counterargument is mostly based on history; i.e. we should support the churches for the buildings'(not the institution) historic value.

- skummetmaelk 10y agoThe church tax is not the only income for the church. It receives a large amount of money from the general tax, exactly to perform restorations of old buildings and cultural heritage. Even if you deregister from the church and therefore do not pay direct church tax, some of your tax kroner will go to the church anyway.
