Businesses putting up millions of dollars in lobbying to influence a government vote? Well I'm shocked.

You mean to tell me they want to remain competitive on a global scale by not limiting incentives for CEOs to produce? I'm shocked. What horror!
They should absolutely be limited so that the best and brightest never set foot in that country and contribute to its success

More important than that though is that they are vehemently in favor of separation of church and state, with the exception that some of the countries have a State Church (optional). Even with that, they are some of the most secular countries in the world.
From wiki
A 1980 initiative calling for the complete separation of church and state was rejected by 78.9% of the voters.[165]
Anything over 60% in a direct democracy like they have is ridiculous imho...

Switzerland is considered Northern Europe? News to me I guess.
Now where is that survey you been quoting up and down in this thread friend? Are you going to provide a source?
Main article: Religion in Switzerland
Switzerland has no state religion, though most of the cantons (except for Geneva and Neuchâtel) recognize official churches (Landeskirchen), in all cases including the Catholic Church and the Swiss Reformed Church. These churches, and in some cantons also the Old Catholic Church and Jewish congregations, are financed by official taxation of adherents.Christianity is the predominant religion of Switzerland but is slowly shrinking over the decades (74% of total resident population in 2010). 20% of the total population were irreligious in 2010. The largest minority religion is Islam: 4,5% (2010 census). In 2000, 5.78 million residents (79.2%, compared to 93.8% in 1980) were Christian (Roman Catholic 41.8%, Protestant 35.3%, Orthodox 1.8%). 809,800 (11.1%, compared to 3.8% in 1980) were without any religious affiliation. 310,800 (4.3%) were Muslim (compared to 0.9% in 1980), 17,900 (0.2%) were Jewish. The 2005 Eurobarometer poll[16] found 48% of Swiss residents to be theist, 39% expressing belief in "some sort of spirit or life force", 9% atheist and 4% said that they "don't know".
I guess God is becoming unpopular in Switzerland
... but 70-80% in a direct democracy is still ridiculous
