An increasing number of Danes choose other religions than Christianity. No official statistics exist, but Theology Professor Mogens S. Mogensen estimates, based on scientific research, that 4.000-5.000 Danes converted to Buddhism 1970-2005 while Islam got only 2.100-2.800 danish converts. According to Mogensen, Buddhism is seen as more congruent with western life-style and with Christianity.
