Evidently, most Christian refugees who have gained residency in Sweden are not Christians just claiming to be Christians, as several very well attended Churches recently have been build by people stemming from the Middle East on Swedish soil. Most, if not all, are Assyrian churches.
It's just as easy gaining residency in Sweden if you claim to be a Muslim being persecuted by other Muslims and most them who come here probably know that. They don't have to lie about their confession.
Speaking of ethnic Swedes like myself, yes, many of us of are very secularized. But I think that is beginning to change. Swedes who are strongly opposed to Muslim influence are beginning to define themselves as ‘Christians’ more and more often. Still, church attendance among those belonging to the largest church, the (Lutheran) Church of Sweden remains a joke. 70% of the population do so but go to church only when there is a wedding, funeral etc. People belonging to smaller churches (called ‘Free churches’ because the Church of Sweden used to be the state church) are much more like Christians in the US. There are strongholds in Sweden where these churches are especially active. Two such strongholds are Örebro and Jönköping which also are two of the largest cities (the former is the 7th largest and the latter is the 10th largest). True American Christians would probably like it there!
