“…However, deregistering from the National Church does not necessarily mean that you are not religious, and people who regard themselves more as spiritual or religious in a private or different way, and who do not belong to an organized religion, are not visible in this picture. Research shows that some Danes believe in supernatural phenomena not referable to specific religious orientations (Christensen & Clasen, 2018), while others identify as “believers,” but not as “religious” (Rosen, 2009).…”

This article presents the findings of an empirical research project on how psychiatrists in a secular country (Denmark) approach the religious patients, and how the individual worldview of the psychiatrist influences this approach. The study is based on 22 interviews with certified psychiatrists or physicians in psychiatric residency. The article presents the theoretical and methodical grounding and introduces the analytical construct “subalternalizing,” derived from subaltern studies. “Subalternalizing” designates a process where a trait in one worldview (patient) is marginalized as a consequence of another worldview’s (psychiatrist) “disinterest.” The analysis located four categories: (a) religion as a negative part of the patient story, (b) religion as a positive part of the patient story, (c) religion in relation to radicalization, and (d) there are no religious patients. The discussion shows that the approach is influenced by the psychiatrist worldview. Examples of “subalternalizing” are given and how this excludes “positive religious coping” and “existential and spiritual care” from treatment.

“…Ken and Mathias wanted to find answers to these questions, so they constructed an online survey and recruited more than 2,200 Danes who responded to a battery of questions having to do with different beliefs. As it turned out (Christensen & Clasen 2018), Danes do believe in weird things, but less so than Americans-and there were systematic patterns in the beliefs of Danes. Females were more likely than males to believe in the supernatural, and different kinds of supernatural items clustered together, so that somebody who believes in angels, for example, is also likely to believe in an immortal soul.…”
