The Danish Pluralism Project

This article is based on The Danish Pluralism Project, focusing on the first pilot project, which was a detailed study of religious diversity and plurality in the municipality of Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark with around 290,000 citizens. The product of our research was a description of 75 different religious groups, in addition to the Evangelical Lutheran Church, as well as an examination of the presumed religiosity or spirituality of alternative therapists as an example of what this article calls “fluid religiosity.” In other words: this article deals with religion in terms of locality, focusing on the interplay between this particular locality and late-modernity and how religion has adapted to both.
