Yes, sadly people still seem to see christianity as a positive thing even though most people don't seem to actually believe in it here. I wouldn't call Sweden an atheist nation.
I think few people identify as atheist. Because people don't seem to know that it simply means not believing in gods. In elementary school when we were "taught" christianity (yes, christianity is actually a subject in school), people often said things like "atheists believe in nothing" and confuse atheism with not only antitheism but also antireligion.
It's really sad that the world is in such an ignorant and misinformed state.
People will go all ballistic about the "good messages of Jesus" and ignore all the bad parts of the Bible. It's really hypocritical and sad. The fact that people can consider themselves adherents to a religion because of something like this is like people calling themselves "Einsteinians" because they don't really accept Einstein's theories, and maybe some of the first things he said were a bit stupid, but they really like the message which he seems to try to get through in the last half of his work.
