According to the Confederate Census Bureau...
60% Southern Baptist, Evangelical, Mormon, Amish, and other Protestant Churches
10% Judaism
8% Catholicism
3% Islam
0.6% Buddhism
0.3% Hindu
0.1% Sikh
2% Church of NASCAR
6% Holy Church of General Robert E. Lee (fastest growing Religion)
10% Atheist or "Don't know, don't care"
0% Scientology (outlawed)

Among the religious, church attendance is around 54-66% across all faiths.

Actively encouraging religiously-motivated hatred or violence can result in arrest and 6 months-3 years imprisonment under the Public Safety Act.

Scientology is not legally considered a religion in the Confederate Socialist States of America and is outlawed as a subversive cult and its members are actively persecuted.

Depends on whether philosophies count...

...of those who answered a recent poll, 52% of those who answered consider themselves Deists, while 40% identified themselves as Pastafarian. Of the remaining, 2% each was claimed by Buddhists, Wiccans, Agnostic Scientists, and Shintoists (this one quite catching, given that only 1.392% of the population is of Japanese descent,) and 1% said they were Teknofilax (a fringe group that reveres technology as a deity.) What of the "revealed" religions? Well...

...the Spiritual Parleyers Association of New Kamakuri keeps religious extremism in check. It has been active since the Crisis of Conscience in 1971, when the Catholic terrorist cell Thorncrown threatened to activate suicide bombers around the capital city. Since then, there has been a strained tolerance towards "revealed" religions by the Deist and Pastafarian majority.

The Sanian Confederacy is an entirely polytheistic culture. Largely possessing a spirit for every craft and emotion, for every concept and item. A farmer might worship spirits of the rain, of plants, of the earth. Worship of the spirits tinges everything that Sanians do. This does not entirely mean that they are all god-fearin’ zealots, paralyzed without religion or paranoid of its influence in all things. They believe in their own free will and scientific reasoning – but they will often see things through a combinational prism of religion and reason, for better or worse. A Sanian that sees rainfall and thanks the Spirits of Rain for answering his or her prayers – despite the fact that they very well realize the rain had nothing to do with his or her prayers, yet thank it nonetheless. A Sanian’s belief is next to impossible to destroy, although it can be shaken. One would be blind to turn away from the Polytheistic history of their ancestors age old worship of Spirits, especially when several of their most notable figures throughout history have been immortalized as embodiments of their patron spirits, thus modern day Sanians both honor it's influence and make it nearly impossible for larger mainstream religions to take hold in the Confederacy.

The Church of Azure counts itself the largest (and oldest) religion in Ameriqua as well as indigenous to the people. Egyptian Polytheism also has followers here, as does Roman Polytheism, Luciellanism and Catholicism.

After that you lose us in minorities so small they don't count as a religious demographic.

No religion for the members of Caustancia.

Religion is just an excuse to terrorize in the name of their god.
It's also another excuse to gain popularity and power, in the case of a church head/pope.
For regular civilians, it's false hope.

Alexandrian Religion is a mix of Ancestor Worship and Polytheism. We believe that those among the ranks of our greatest ancestors achieved enough in their mortal lives to ascend to the position of gods. The greatest of all of them being Saint Alexander, who destroyed the Old Republic and liberated the people from their reign of oppression centuries ago, then establishing the Monarchy our people trust and love to this very day.

While all religions are welcome, the people of Arokop view organized religions (unified churches) with suspicion. This makes Catholics, Scientologists, Mormons, Orthodox Christians, Muslims and the like uncommon.

The Government is secular, and anyone running for office either keeps quiet about their faith, or is an outspoken atheist/ agnostic.

Postby Dagnia » Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:47 am

There is no official state religion, but 80% of Dagnians follow a home-grown religion called Dagnianism, which grew out of several similar philosophies common in Dagnia. It places a strong emhasis on individualism coming from two of the other philosophies it is based on (LaVeyan Satanism and Objectivism). There is also belief in ritual magic, coming from both Satanism and Wicca. On issues like revenge or curses coming back on you, the religion leans more towards its roots in Satanism than Wicca, though many important concepts from the latter have come to Dagnianism. Taoism has also had a significant influence on the religion.

One of the things that originated in the religion is the strong belief in Dagnian national sovereignty over our solar system and fanatical devotion to Dagnian independence. The more devoted followers have a strong anti-UN WA stance. The religion does not want domination over foreign nations any more than Dagnia being dominated by a foreign power. Dagnianism views foreigners who have not yet assimilated as filthy (yet perfectly clean once assimilated, as in fluent in our language, knowing our customs and being nationalists for Dagnia) and those who refuse to assimilate as worthy of death. The solar system of Dagnia itself is viewed as a living entity.

The religions and philosophies Dagnianism is developed from are most of what is represented in the remaining 20%, though as we have a strong belief in religious tolerance, all religions are represented here. Most of those 20% are atheists.

Postby Al-Massiya » Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:25 pm

As freedom of speech is important in Al-Massiya, so is the freedom of beliefs. But it is most socially acceptable to believe in SOMETHING rather than NOTHING, as Massiyans are in general spiritual people.
Being made up of several states that have some differences in culture and traditions, so can the dominant belief in one state be different to another.
But it is most common to practice a MIX of beliefs, in the sense that most Massiyans think some religions are better suited for certain aspects of life, while other for other and so on.
Thus the most combination found in most areas of the Commonwealth is monotheistic paganism combined with Islam.
Many people wonder how it is possible to combine Islam with other beliefs, but most Massiyans do not see the problem, as it is a monotheistic religion and many of the traditional values of the Massiyan people is found in that religion too.
Many of the Commonwealth's neighboring countries are also Muslim in one way or another.
According to 10 year old census, roughly 1/3 of the population fell into the group monotheistic paganism combined with Islam.
In the coastal cities of the Commonwealth, other combinations are more dominant, but it usually monotheistic paganism combined with one or more non-traditional beliefs.
Other popular non-traditional beliefs are Bahá'í, Buddhism, Christianity, monotheistic Hinduism, Taoism, and Wicca.
NB! Since what is referred to as monotheistic paganism originated in the Commonwealth, it does not have a particular name in any of the Massiyan languages. The term "monotheistic paganism" is used for purposes to illustrate that it is set of beliefs with very ancient traditions in the Commonwealth that have eventually evolved into the belief of that there might be one single higher entity behind everything.

None, no religion will be "the Nation's Religion" as that is seen as Infringing on civil rights beyond necessity... Until Recently.
The Supreme Commander after asserting her power by simply keeping Oceara in Existance in the past two months had declared a national religion off her own belief (which coincidentally was the belief of an amazing 80% of the populace) but did not enforce it's belief.. Nobody would dare speak up against the woman with 160 million soldiers, and of course the national religion was not enforced so nobody really cared to be honest.
