Most Nordic countries, Greece and Malta have crosses on their flags for example.
Those crosses don’t carry any religious meaning, they’re simple historical artifacts. It’s akin to how I still say things like “oh my god” or “go to hell”, despite being a militant atheist.
Denmark, Iceland, Greece and Malta have some form of Christianity as their state religion. Norway only separated church from the state in 2017. Finland requires a change of the constitution to change the church law, which gives the local lutheran church special rights. Sweden is secular since 2000, but even today grants the local lutheran church special rights.
