There are many countries in Europe where the Church has a significant official position, and indeed you can say "the Church" and there's only one organization you could possibly be referring to, they're generally symbolic these days.

I haven't paid much attention to it, but the discourse around the position of the Church in Finland seems to revolve around arguments like "you know... this obscure law I found could be considered discriminatory against non-Lutherans" and "well yeah, but is it really worth the time of our busy legislators to change stuff like that?". ^^
