[[Same sex marriage]] has been recognized by the Dutch government since 2001.<ref>[http://marriage.about.com/cs/samesexmarriage/a/samesex.htm About.com]</ref> Furthermore, [[prostitution]], [[euthanasia]], [[abortion]] and [[marijuana]] use are all legal and frequently occurring, making The Netherlands the most liberal country in the world by most standards. Religion plays a secondary role in society, with only 25% of the population being [[Protestant]] and just over 30% are [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholics]]. There is, however, a rising [[Muslim]] population which has caused social strains.
