Religion is constitutional and legal, with freedom of faith enshrined in Article 17 of the Constitution.

Roman Catholicism is the national religion, and this plays a major role in government, though freedom of religion is granted.

Religion is banned atheism is mandatory and the government is seen as god and savior to the masses. They must worship government or get ready to be sent to a gulag. Religion is a capital crime in our region.

There is freedom of/from religion and there is a separation of church and state. Most people are nominally religious but not practicing. Most consider themselves Muslim, followed by Christian, then Jewish, then Zoroastrian, then several others (including irreligion, Hinduism, and Sikhism).

Ragnaran religion meshes in almost seamlessly with modern Ragnaran concepts and ideals, including those about science and how the world came to be. Ragnaran Deism never gave an explanation for creation, and instead said that it would be down to humans to discover the truths of life. Obviously, this was seen to endorse the concepts of free thought, and scientific pursuits where encouraged under it.
Ragnaran Deism also fits perfectly into Ragnaran culture. However, all other religion is banned, and is seen as detrimental to Ragnaran success through the promotion of what is seen as 'superstition'. The state is completely secular, but since the religion is so heavily ingrained in Ragnaran culture, it inevitably effects decision making.

The majority of the population follows the Antidisestablishmentarianist Church of the Holy Inbible, which is similar to Pastafarianism, in a way. The government itself is secular, with a clear distinction between "church and state".

Religion is legal, and despite the king of Arkadacia being a major religious authority, the government is strictly secular, and it takes strides to be neutral in religious matters. Approximately 97% of the population is religious, though most of it is strictly indigenous faith, with only 22% of that 97% belonging to the Abrahamic religions. The state of Arkchil is governed by the Great Druid of the Arkchil faith, and as such tends to be biased. People are welcome to move out.

Postby Bushinotochi » Mon Mar 07, 2016 4:44 pm

Religion in the Naranai Isles is historical and traditional, dating back to the ancient Naranese inhabitants. As such, all religions are allowed; alas, after the recent presentation and following surge in Christianity, religions that promote wholly chaotic and humanistic ideologies are banned (i.e Satanism, "New Age" Spiritualism). The only exception to the rule is Buddhism.

Bushinotochi has traditionally anointed Jindo as the state religion of the precursor realms of the Celestial Empires, Shogunates, and Kingdoms. Jindo reveres ancient familial spirits and kami of the Naranai Isles themselves. Pure and unadulterated Jindo is rare to find in Bushinotochi nowadays; syncretisms between Jindo and Buddhism or Jindo and Christianity are more common.

Abrahamic religions (e.x Judaism, Christianity, Islam) have had a large influence on Bushinotochi since their introductions from the 1600s and 1700s. The largest influences are exerted from Christianity; at one point in history, more than 50% of all Bushinotochese claimed belief in some denomination of the religion. Judaism has existed in relatively low numbers and concentrated mainly in the capital. Islam has a slightly larger average influence than normal in the southern Naranai Isles.

Heathenism (i.e Paganism) is also banned; in part from Abrahamic detestment, and part from contradicting traditional Jindo views. Many Bushinotochese see the new growth of Heathenism as foolish; their gods have died and have been slain; instead, only Jehovah rules their populations. Alas, Jindo practitioners see their faith as unconquerable.

Ventalia is a secular state and Freedom of Religion is enshrined in the constitution. Alas, 42% of Ventalians identify as "not religious/atheist" and 22% as Pagan. Christianity in general take 18%, with Roman Catholics forming the overwhelming majority of that group. The remaining population is very mixed.

Our constitution guarantees the freedom to believe and practice one's religious beliefs, provided that they don't interfere with someone else's rights. There is a strict separation of church and state here and almost 70% of the populace is entirely non-religious, with the largest religion being Buddhism with a bit over 11% professing to follow it.

it is legal and most follow the faith of Norse Paganism, its very ingrained in our society from our laws, how we act and treat each other and outsiders, how we live, and act, its generally the foundation of much of our civilization, their are other faiths but they are few and relatively no influence as one of the men who helped lay down the foundation of our culture and nation warned us of outside influences and faiths "be wary of outsiders and their ways, especially when they try to replace ours with theirs, the faith we follow is meant for our kin, if one wishes to leave they may, but know that our nation but stay wholly of kin faith if not it will bring only ruin to Northsmen" he warned of something called "Christianity" but were not really sure who or what that is, but the man who wrote such things seemed to have a very deep hatred for it

Though Gamindustri is technically a constitutional theocracy (in that we are run by goddesses, but have a constitution), we allow other religions. The percentage is as follows:

-85% Pantheon Worship
-5.15% Christianity
-5.1% Atheism
-4.1% Shintoism
-3.95% Buddhism
-0.3% Other Religions (Confucianism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Scientology, Satanism, Druidism, Shamanism)

While Shintoism and Buddhism results into the total percentage being more than 100%, 87.8% of Shintoists and 91.1% Buddhists follow both religions.

Religions not present include:

-Taoism
-Hinduism
-Jainism
-Zoroastrianism
-Tengrism
-Norse Paganism
-Greco-Roman Paganism
-Egyptian Paganism
-Aztec Paganism

Religion plays a large role in Nortend. The state religion is Cardican Christianity, a branch of the Protestant movement. Most religions are allowed, with the notable exceptions of Islam and Scientology, which are prohibited. People who do not identify as Christian or Judaism must pay a tax of £0.15.6d a year. Over 70% of the population attend church at least once a fortnight, with 92% of the population registered as Christian. Atheism, which is classified as a religion, incurs a tax as well, and is held by only 2% of the population.
