Since you were born when the Church of Sweded was still the established church that means you were registered as a member upon your birth. Of course, if you have managed to break free of the shackles of the established church, I applaud you.

Shackles? Break free? It's been centuries since any kind of force or legal sanction was used in Sweden to make people practise the Lutheran religion. It doesn't even take a moral or intellectual effort to leave the church; all you have to do is ignore it.
