We are very religious here in Tyrtania. After all, by definition a monarchy is upheld by divine will. It would be hard to run a Kingdom without it. Although we have a few atheists they aren't normally listened to, and evolution is never ever taught in schools.

The worship of Eru (The Lord of the Rings equivalent of God) is widespread, but Christianity exists within the kingdom.

Unless our Lord and Savior Joe Wilson is secular, I'm saying religious to a high degree.

Highly religious, it is the moral fabric that binds our society. The religious community is Messianic Jewish and Celtic Christianity sort of blend.

Very secular, both politically and culturally. We have philosophical organizations rather than churches and the like. We build temples, but to philosophical ideals.

We are not anti-theist, however, and support freedom of belief. We simply find religious people to belong to a different culture with different assumptions about reality.

Secular beliefs are predominant in turian society, with the governing bodies also being separate entirely from spirituality. Despite this, there is a remarkable level of freedom afforded to those few citizens who do practice a religious belief.

Romandeos is officially secular, but the vast majority of the people are religious, and religious leaders, especially of the various Judeo-Christian faiths, can have fairly strong pull on how communities in Romandeos are run. Such a figure has to be careful not to abuse this informal authority, however, as to do so may invite legal repercussions.

Religion is very prevalent in Coradinian society and the population is extremely tolerant of religions other than their own. The state government does not endorse any religion (secular government), but a decent majority of Coradin's citizens believe in Messianic Judaism.

People and State put God above all and the Head of State is believed given by God and atheism or idolatry are punished by law.

The state does not endorse any religion and limits public expression of religious symbolism but generally, not behaviour. Statistic show that 31% of the population are not religious, +50% are Christians and there are small minorties of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and animists/spiritualists.

Roman Catholicism is the official state religion.

The Catholic Party has absolute majority in the government.

The educational system is being organised and managed by both the state and the Catholic Church. In fact, 98% of our university professors are priests. In our schools, there is morning prayer every day, and a cross hanging in every classroom.

Every law is checked by our national Bishops' Conference to make sure that they're ethical. If the bishops find a law to be unethical, it is immediatley scrapped.

Emperor Aldenar has officially ended the favored status of the former state religion, Equalism, and declared Akros a secular state. He also dropped the word "Holy" from the title of our country. Separation of religion and state is complete, with an increasingly atheistic bent to the new regime's policies. Civil marriages have replaced the temple marriages, though the Expiration system is maintained with the civil marriages, too. Emperor Aldenar is the first avowed atheist to rule Akros in its recorded history, but he hopes not to be the last. Rumor has it that he is grooming Talar, another atheist to recently declare herself after pretending for most of her career to be an Equalist, to be his successor.

Practice or expression of beliefs other than the state religion, Bioism, is illegal for citizens. Foreigners may not proselytize, but may practice their own faiths quietly.

Very religious, but practical about it. Given our faith has a genuine supernatural side to it, obeying the Lords and priest caste can be vital.

The state is officially agnostic, but Freedom of Religion is our highest priority.

Agnosticism is encouraged in schools, religious symbols are banned from the National Attire Standards, and one must be over the age of 25 to attend any sort of religious service.

The Labour Party of Brystolville further encourages religious freedom and pluralism by requiring its members to sign a statement rejecting Theism. The Communist Party requires it members to be Atheists, and the Social Democratic Party requires that its members not discuss religion without Party approval.

Prusland wrote:Highly Religious. The people put God above the state and therefore give themselves up for one another which causes the good of the state. Our people look down on other, more secular nations whose foolish population has no faith. This way of thinking has given our nation of Prussland one of the strongest militaries of the world, if not the most well trained, because of the well rounded aspects of our soldiers lives. It has also invited scientists and poets and artists from across the world to come and study and learn in our acadamies and institutions to create one of the smartest peoples on earth. They understand that the laws of science only prove God more and laugh because they can not comprehend why anyone would think that it would prove otherwise. And they understand that the reason for so much suffering in the world isn't because God has turned away or doesn't exist but its because our sins, and the sin of Adam, which has stained us all. And his sin was the knowledge of good and evil, in other words to judge. That is why our people try not to judge others at all.

So your nation is filled with deluded people then?
