    Haaland is norwegian. I dont know anything more about his background specifically, but the scandis aren’t known for their christianity.
    The norwegian national church registered newborns as members automatically up until 1998. Now, as long as at least one parent is a member, you are registered as an “un-affiliated member”. If you get baptised or confirmed you are registered as a member.
    This means membership is wayyy higher than attendance. Heres a map made by someone with graphic design as their passion

    All this to say that oftentimes americans fetishize Scandinavia as some glorious white viking christian crusader homeland. Its not. We have brown people too. We look at you weird if you attend christian church regularly.
    We do masturbate about having been vikings, but there’s no warrior culture here for you. It’s just fried pork, beer and drunk teens destroying Prague once in a while.

    Edit: And really good bread. Probably the best in europe. And nice pies. And soups.

      lol i had no idea who he is (looked him up and apparently hes a famous football player, in case others reading this dont know) and i was VERY confident he’s norwegian just from his looks

      like… this dude looks INSANELY norwegian. not like that’s a bad thing, but i just find it a bit interesting :D
