Tell me what atheism helps and I will tell you what Catholicism helps, Catholicism creates a united community who work together for common cause as well as preserves culture has a literary tradition, preserves knowledge and were the primary scientists for the last 2000 years, catholic religion not secular states were the patrionages of arts sciences and schools all universities were founded by Catholic Church not secular states now fuck off from here infidel.

>>73385688
Unlike the USA the Netherlands was founded on the principles of the enlightenment.

>>73385795
As the first country to deny the divine right of kings.
The founding of the Netherlands ushered in the end of the dark ages. And the start of the enlightenment, where science and critical thought began to thrive.

What Semana Santa processions do you prefer?

Andalucian ones full of passion, music and ovations? (Sevilla one is the main example).

Or Castillian ones full of silence, respect, and devotion? (Valladolid one is the main example).

Not really. When our country became independent free thinkers from the UK, France, Portugal, Spain and pretty much all across Europe came here to do science and publish their controversial works.

English thinkers like Locke. French like Descartes. Spinoza who was Jewish portuegese. And Dutch people like Antonie van Leeuwenhoek who discovered bacteria. And artists like Rembrandt.

>Locke fled to the Netherlands in 1683, under strong suspicion of involvement in the Rye House Plot, although there is little evidence to suggest that he was directly involved in the scheme. The philosopher and novelist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein argues that during his five years in Holland, Locke chose his friends "from among the same freethinking members of dissenting Protestant groups as Spinoza's small group of loyal confidants. [Baruch Spinoza had died in 1677.] Locke almost certainly met men in Amsterdam who spoke of the ideas of that renegade Jew who... insisted on identifying himself through his religion of reason alone." While she says that "Locke's strong empiricist tendencies" would have "disinclined him to read a grandly metaphysical work such as Spinoza's Ethics, in other ways he was deeply receptive to Spinoza's ideas, most particularly to the rationalist's well thought out argument for political and religious tolerance and the necessity of the separation of church and state.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke

We were pretty much a refugee camp for people who had some degree of critical thought. Which was impossible in other parts of Europe.

>>73387028
Locke is shit-tier, this alone proves that the Netherlands was a mistake.

>Despite frequent moves,[29] he wrote all his major work during his 20+ years in the Netherlands, where he managed to revolutionize mathematics and philosophy.[30] In 1633, Galileo was condemned by the Catholic Church

>La Semana Santa es la conmemoración anual cristiana de la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Jesús de Nazaret. Por eso, es un período de intensa actividad litúrgica dentro de las diversas confesiones cristianas. Da comienzo el Domingo de Ramos y finaliza el Domingo de Resurrección,1 aunque su celebración suele iniciarse en varios lugares el viernes anterior (Viernes de Dolores) y se considera parte de la misma el Domingo de Resurrección. La fecha de la celebración es variable (entre marzo y abril según el año) ya que depende del calendario lunar. La Semana Santa va precedida por la Cuaresma, que finaliza en la Semana de Pasión donde se celebra la eucaristía en el Jueves Santo, se conmemora la Crucifixión de Jesús el Viernes Santo y la Resurrección en la Vigilia Pascual durante la noche del Sábado Santo al Domingo de Resurrección.

not sure but i think that they are traditions from the middle age and the renaissance that were banned by the church and some regions are trying to take them back but others looks very contemporary.

Nikolaus is a christian saint though

>>73393597
We just don't like religion. Took hundreds of years to make us christian yet still there were asatroende up until the late 19th century, drawing curse runes at the bottom of each others' houses.

What about you? Religious freedom from day 1, what a joke.

Swedes were the heroes of the Thirty Year's War, the was probably not a better champion of Lutheranism in all Europe

>>73394256
Yeah but that was just because they were literally killing all protestants unhindered. Sweden didn't jump into the fray until all other resistance was gone, Gösta was busy centralizing the country.

>>73394458
nonetheless, it's clear to see that Sweden used to be a devote country
