Zed stressed that though the Danish government claims to deliver religious freedom, but it should work for providing religious equality also. Zed urged Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark (Folkekirken), its Copenhagen Bishop Peter Skov-Jakobsen and other religious leaders of Denmark also to push for inclusivity at Folketing, stressing that a more inclusive and broader understanding of religion was needed as religion comprised much more than one’s own particular tradition/experience.

Zed pointed out that as Folkekirken was regarded as "the church of the people", it needed to work more for the rights of minorities and other voiceless people. Moreover, religion told us to help the helpless.

In this statement, Zed also asked European Union, of which Denmark is a member, to look into this exclusive Folketing practice as this should be unacceptable in 21^st century Europe which boasted of its human rights record.

Folkekirken, Denmark’s “official national church” where Christianity was introduced in 960 CE, with Queen Margrethe II as the supreme authority, claims 80.4% population of Denmark as its members. Besides Folkekirken members, there are considerable number of Roman Catholics, other Christian denominations, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, indigenous Norse system believers, Hindus, Baha'is, Sikhs and non-believers in Denmark, reports suggest.

According to “2011 Report on International Religious Freedom” on Denmark by the U.S. Department of State, there were occasional reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice, such as anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic insults, harassment, and vandalism. The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom.

Located in Christiansborg Palace, Folketing comprises 179 Members. The Danish Constitution is embodied in the Constitutional Act of 1849, most recently amended in 1953. Denmark is rated among nations with best quality of life, highest per capita income, and low unemployment. Its literacy rate is 100%.
