As Yngve says (comment 41), this is only one small step in the right direction. Still, as one of the natives, I feel like shouting "HURRA!"

And what a nice coincidence to be reading this news on our national holiday, Constitution Day.

Comment 28 by RobertJames Cool, they should redesign their flag without a cross now.

I'll refer to the classic poem "Rent Flag" (1937) by noted Norwegian author Arnulf Øverland. A few years before he wrote it, his lecture "Kristendommen - den tiende landeplage" ("Christianity - the Tenth Plague") had caused him to be tried for blasphemy.

Rent Flag

Stryk kristenkorset av ditt flag/Og heis det rent og rødt./La ingen by deg det bedrag/At frelseren er født./Og vil du ikke dø som en trell,/Så må du saktens fri deg selv.

Translation:

Pure Flag

Erase the Christian cross from your flag/And hoist it pure and red./Let no one feed you the lie/That the saviour is born./And if you don’t want to die a slave,/Then you will have to free yourself.
