This is Norway and not the US. It is Norway’s problem and not ours. Just for curiosity’s sake, Christianity in Europe is hugely different than in the US. 85% of Christianity in Norway is nominally Christian since citizens are just about automatically added to the roles on birth. 81% of Norway is Lutheran, meaning that Lutheranism accounts for nearly all of Christianity in Norway.

European Lutheranism is radical liberal and leftist.

I recently saw the Norwegian drama/horror movie "Troll Hunter" and one of the story's subplots was that trolls could smell the blood of Christian men. One of the three college students filming the "documentary" protested that he didn't even believe in Jesus, yet the troll found him and went after him. Eventually the student confessed to having been raised in the church etc. Their conception of "Christian" is indeed different from ours.
