Laity?

three counter-cultures were rooted Western Norway, creating cleavages towards the rest of Norway: Landsmål, temperance and laity.

I don't think "laity" is the right word. Perhaps you mean secularism? Or is it the opposite, i.e. lay activism within religious life? In any case, simply wikilinking to the laity article is not helpful or enlightening. jnestorius^(talk) 18:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
