Religious Nation, or Secular?

[Gaiaton]

All but the state religion, Gaiatonism, is forbidden - the government is only comprised of the most devout members of Gaiatonism, while the population is mostly anti-Gaiatonism although they are forced by law to worship the country's leaders.

[Swilatia]

The U.S.E and all the emirates in it's power are the most secular in the world

Not likely. Some nations a more then 99% atheist... where the hell are you?

I don't know about you, but I'm getting very annoyed with all the 2009 nations claiming to be the most (something) nation in the world. Have these guys ever looked at a WA ranking?

Anyway, Swilatia is definitely a secular/atheistic country. Only 14 percent of the population belong to any religion.

[Carbarosia]

Secular.

[Romanar]

Officially, Romanar is a Catholic nation. Unofficially, the main god in Romanar is money.

[New Imperial Tyrannia]

It can go either way, officialy the main religion in NIT is Hypnotoadism.


Look deep into his eyes...

Hypnotoad is'nt considered a god as such, He is just the focus of the people's affection.

[Jalanat]

Jalanat is kind of positioned in the centre. a lot of people are religious but it's not at either extremes.

religion statistics:
Protestantism: 42%
Shintoism: 28%
Other: 9%
No Religion 21%

[Arizona Nova]

Highly religious.

There is no state religion; all religions are legally treated as private corporations. However, all documented charitable work is subsidized by the government (this is reflected by the UN measurement of religion and spirituality subsidies).

The largest Christian denomination is the Church of Saint Peter.

[Auoul]

The State is almost completely secular; I say almost because the official religion of Auoul is Christianity. All branches of Christianity must accept the Doctrine of Christianity. If they do not, the Ministry of Religion brands the denomination as heretical, which is basically a death sentence.



However, the people are very religious. Due to absolutely no form of government healthcare or welfare, wealthy Auoulians adhere to "the Rich Man's Burden" by regularly donating money to their churches, which provide money and resources to struggling or poor citizens. It's a pretty balanced system.

[Libetarian Republics]

The Church doesn't influence the State.
The State doesn't influence the Church.

Majority of the population does follow a religion though.

[Rethan]

Utterly non-religious, in both incarnations of Rethan.

FT: Anyone who so much as bows their head to any kind of supreme being or religious leader is shot.

PMT: Not as extreme, but still very much frowned upon. Anyone who is religious is generally looked down upon by the rest of society.

[Anticommunist States]

Religion exists within the older members of my society, but the youth of my nation are very callous, foul-mouthed, and borderline nihilists. This is due in part to the highly relaxed social laws in my country. It is the way things are in the R.A.S. You'll spend your youth drifting along aimlessly until you find a purpose and a place in life. And as it were, many citizens turn to religion for that purpose.

Charitable sentiments are kept out of government - we abhor socialism and communism in particular. We feel that the citizens should take an active and personal role in the stewardship of our society. Many of my citizens feel that churches, and charity organizations are the best way to deal with the ills of our society - and they take action. They would rather oversee the homeless shelters, unemployment programs, and welfare issues themselves rather than allow a bureaucracy waste time, manpower, and tax money doing the same things only for interests of the government.

As for the government itself, it is a streamlined, small national government that gives the individual states of the republic free-reign over themselves. It is highly secular and pragmatic, it's only concern being national defence and the enforcement of the our Republic's Charter and The Constitution. The difference between these two documents is that the latter can be amended and changed within the parameter's of the former - which is immutable and cannot be changed whatsover. The Republic's Charter clearly states that there can be no state religion whether in the nation as a whole or within any of the individual states. Nor can there be any Federal or State sponsorship of any religious group or group that is against religion, in anyway whatsoever.

100% just banned religion(from public areas) and religious schools

[Herminia]

Well, the majority of our population is Lutheran, but the government is ruthlessly Atheist, they're willing to try to stamp out Religion in the Reich.

[Skando]

The people are broadly secular although many people are "spiritual" and some participate in organised religion.

[Tunizcha]

My main nation was 1,470th Most God Forsaken, last time they ranked us.

[Jeuna]

94.3% of Jeuna practices Protestant Christianity, of the Jeunese Reformed Presbyterian Church. The minorities are: Muslim (1.6%), Jewish (1%), Roman Catholic (0.9%), Hindu (0.7%) Buddhist (0.6%) and Sikh (0.3%). 0.2% report having no religion, and 0.1% are listed as "other".

[Sanctus-Terra]

It's, right now, a very fiercely religious nation. But recent laws by Supreme Farley are slowly decreasing the high number of religious folk.

[Cameroi]

politics is politics and religeon is religeon.
our hindmosts don't legislate morality
and our prestessess don't make or enforce the law.

for that matter there's not overly much of either in the average cameroi's daily lives.

because we have a culture of consideration for everything living,
and most things inert as well, we really don't need a whole lot of eather,
except as excuses to get to gether and meet and hug and furpile.

there is a lot of spirituality, but it stays out of politics,
other then perhapse in the sense its influence toward love and ecotopianism.

[Barrettstia]

Barrettstia is a largely secular nation. Separation of Church and State is enshrined in the Federation's constitution an practised almost zealously by the government. Indeed, it has been commented that if you want toget the government to do anything then it helps not to have the church on your side.

As for the population itself, 76% are Atheist and the majority of the remainder follow Avatism, a religion which grew from neighbouring Saurea and is particularly common in the south near the Saurean border. 12% of the population are Avatist while the remaining 14% are predominantly a mixture of Reppyists, Agnostics and other faiths.

[Democratic Eurasia]

Officialy the state is secular- there is no official religion, all creeds are treated just the same and church is totally separate from state. In practice many Eurasians at least claim to adhere to one religion or another.

50.4% Christian (of different denominations)- 18% Orthodox, 29% Protestant (various denominations) and 7% Catholic
13.8% Muslim (of various denominations)
2.5% Jewish ("")
3.5% Other
29.8% Athiest/Agnostic

[Iglesian Archipelago]

The Iglesian Archipelago is a secular state.

[Batzoria]

Only 5% of the total population practise organised religion.

Religion/theism isn't banned in Batzoria, but it is frowned upon.

[Milks Empire]

Imperial citizens are, for the most part, very devoutly religious - in private. We leave our religions at home and go about our daily business. That said, many religious customs have been adopted by secular society.
[*]The timing of the five Islamic prayers has been adopted in the form of timing of some breaks in most workplaces.
[*]Most banks, by their own volition, have adopted Islamic banking practices. Most people enjoy this.
[*]All people, Shinto practitioners or not, make a stop at at least one Shinto shrine while traveling, if only to appreciate the pristine natural environment.
[*]Many people have taken to eating the way Buddhist monks eat.
[*]Meditation is widespread. This is often what non-Muslims do when the Muslims go to pray.
[*]Most people who reside on more than 10 acres have at least one cow. Free lawnmowing and fertilizer.

[Sorgan]

Rather Religious. A good amount of our people are religious but not to the point of being a religious,zealot,technophobic,christian maniacs. Although there is no state religion but major religion is Christianity followed up by Judaism and many other local and international religions that would take too long to list them all.

[Nus Antara]

Most people can say that Nus Antara is very religious. Religion is the norm, and although a few controversial people speak out against it, they are usually ignored. Even with the variety of religions in our nation, peace has been achieved.
