What is the religion makeup of your country?

Postby Paradisica (Ancient) » Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:09 am

In accordance with Paradisican tradition, the law states that the Church of England has official status in the Commonwealth. Other faiths are required to submit a petition to the government asking for validation. This petition must include a list of adherents as well as finances. If approved, the denomination is added to the Commonwealth's official list of approved religions. These organizations are required to report contributions to the government and are assessed a tithe. The official religious breakdown list is compiled at every census. The most recent one is:


55% Christian
-40% Church of England
-12% Roman Catholic Church
-3% Other Protestant church
30% Tribal Religions
10% Atheist/Agnostic/Irreligious
4% Muslim
-3% Sufi
-1% Other Muslim sect
1% Other faiths

5% Unidentified Spirituality (Individual Beliefs)
10% Pagan

Seculartopia outlaws any Religious organization or gathering, and public practice is outlawed. Both are crimes, which can lead to $100,000 dollar fines and 20 years in Prison.

Our intent is to pursue unpressured freethought. Every year, Religious tourists are arrested for violations of the Private Practice laws.

Judaism- 3.5%
Christianity- 96%
[of Christianity]-Catholicism 98.9%
[of Christianity]- Lutheranism .3%
[of Christianity] Anglicanism .7%
[of Christianity] Calvinism .1%
Atheism/Agnosticism/Nonreligious - .5%


Augarundus is extremely religious. Around 97% of all government offices are held by Catholics, with most of the rests being Jews. There is very little religious unrest in Augarundus, though an infamous history exists of Calvinist radicals butchering Catholic Churches in the early 1900's. There are currently no atheist senators, governors, generals, etc.

Church attendance is at an all time high. Of all Christians, an estimated 89.8% attend Church AT LEAST once a week, whilst 76% attend once EVERY MORNING. Of all Jews, 97% attend a service every week, whilst daily information is not applicable and not recorded.

On Sundays, government offices are emptied from 12-1 PM for a Mass service, and Jews are excused from attending work for their own services.

The statistics regarding Islam are not existent. Whilst some Augarians have become Muslims, the amount is so small that it cannot be recorded, and lower is the amount of Muslims who live in Augarundus. Other religions like Buddhism and Hinduism have hardly even come into contact with Augarundus, and paganism was wiped out in the early holy wars.

The Front Range Republic is overwhelmingly Christian, the Christians are overwhelmingly Protestant, and the Protestants are mostly Baptists. Exact numbers are not known since religion is not included on the census. This is because it is considered extremely impolite not to assume a person is Christian.

It is Constitutionally mandated that should religious matters become relevant for matters of state, the Bible is to be considered infalliable. In practice, given the Front Range Republic's hands off government, and already Christian population, this has little effect.

Another anomaly in the FRR's legal code regarding religions is in the tax law; Religious tithes are tax deductible. If there were ever to be a significant non-Christian population in the country there would probably be a fierce debate as to the applicability of this to other religions, but as it stands a tithe to a Muslim, Jewish, or Darwinist (as examples) church has the same legal benefit as to a Southern Baptist church. This is the only major tax exemption possible in the Front Range Republic (provided you have enough income to be obligated to pay taxes) and is seen as necessary to prevent the erosion of the church as seen in many secular democracies and because it is seen as far more efficient for churches rather than government to provide for the nation's poor.

We are occultist with quasi-Satanist tendencies. Actually, the closest thing to our Messiah/Prophet is Aleister Crowley. The largest sect is the Gray Path Society, which embodies the "gray magic" philosophy to sorcery and the occult. Neither Wiccan nor Satanic, but somewhere in between, this religion favors a rather Nietzchean approach to magic, moving "beyond good and evil" and other such primitive, Manichean ideas. 45% of the population, including the ruling Martin family, are members of this organization. Another 25% are Druidic, 15% are Wiccan, and 10% are Satanist of some type. Of the remaining 5%, maybe half are Jews. The rest are Spiritualists and Episcopalians.

The Official State religion of the Kingdom is the Harberian Catholic Church. The HCC recognizes the Authority of the Old Catholic Church and the Pope, however, Primacy within the Harberian Catholics is held by the Archbishop of Aberdeen, currently Cardinal Eoewn Falkirk.

The Kingdom, even though the HCC is recognized as the Official Church of the nation, has religious tolerence laws in effect, and all religions are legal to practice.

    Harberian Catholic Church - 70%
    Various Protestant Denominations - 15%
    Roman Catholic Church - 4%
    Coptic Church - 3%
    Various pagan Religions - 3%
    Atheist/Agnostic - 3%
    Buddhist - 2%

D'tapanism

Postby BarcoStan » Mon Oct 05, 2009 7:05 am

BarcoStan is a small country ruled by the Barco family, who are adherents of a mystical esoteric religion know as D'tapanism.

D'tapanists believe that sky gods are always looking down on the earth, searching for souls to bring into the sky with them. But humans are too small for the gods to see, so D'tapans devote thier lives to building elaborate shrines and temples, adorned with precious metals and stones - In the hope that the sky gods will notice them and rescue thier souls when they die.

BarcoStan has strict caste system which rations land for shrine building to the upper eschelons of society. The lower classes must donate the majority of thier labours to the temples in return for the right to adorn a small path of the roof. Any economic activy or moral behavior which detracts from temple construction is outlawed and severely punished. As a result BarcoStan has an impressive collection of the largest and most opulent religious structures in the world. Poor construction means that few last longer than a decade, with some temples and shrines subject to sabotage in the search for new land and material.

Other religions are tolerated, but the building of any other religious structure is banned. Most outsiders are based in the capital city Moffet to trade in shrine materials.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.- Carl Sagan
