according to Patrik Lindenfors the symbol is “problematic”, claiming that Christianity is connected with slavery

Jesus never taught slavery. The Tanakh did, of course. So it is Judeo-Christianity that is connected with slavery. Sweden, of course, like all the other Western colonial powers, practiced Judeo-Christianity. But more to the point, the current Swedish flag was the same one used during the colonial era:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_overseas_colonies (note the flag)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_slave_trade

so for this reason the flag certainly should be changed. Failure to do so would suggest Sweden wishes to associate itself with its colonial past. (One reason why National Socialist Germany changed the German flag was to mark a clean break from Germany's colonial past. Every former Western colonial power should follow this example.)
