No I think we are born into a religion here and added to the parish, then we must resign or quit that faith using forms, either via web or by visiting the magistrate.
That is not correct. Nobody is born into any religion here. If the parents of a newborn are members of a religious community, it is up to them to arrange for the child to become a member of that religious community.
Whether a pupil will have religion or ethics as a subject in school depends on what the guardians of said child want. I don't remember exactly but religion might have been the default choice but because there are many religions it must have been inquired by the school at the time of enrollment. A pupil may opt out of religion and have ethics instead. The city of Lahti teaches at least Orthodox Christianity and Islam in addition to Evangelic-Lutheran Christianity as religion in schools.
Yea I forgot that every child is attached to their religion by baptism.
I did not know that. To be honest, at first I half thought you were joking us :)
