The government does not collect data on religions within the nation of Agenca, however an in an independent poll, less than 1% of respondents chose Islam as their religion. Agenca allows the religion to be practiced, and if you want to practice religion you are encouraged to do so.

There is no significant Muslim element in the native population... Maybe a pawful or two who have converted to that faith while abroad, at the most.
Our government theoretically tolerates all religions apart from Chaos-worship, although certain specific practices (such as the non-consensual sacrifice of sapient beings, or the creation of corporeal Undead...) are prohibited even if a religion's laws are claimed as a basis for them. However we also expect everybody in the country to tolerate each other's faith, and some clans have laws against over-persistent preaching, which might hinder some potential Muslim immigrants or converts. The fact that Islam defines bears as "unclean" might also act as a potential brake on its expansion here.

Islam itself does not have a terribly large presence here (there are a couple Muslim-majority islands, but they do not make up a significant percentage of the total population). There are, however, several faiths that are syncretic with Islam that are fairly widespread. Radical Islam also does not have a significant presence among the Muslim population, because any radical religious movement is seen as trying to undermine the Government's authority, and is swiftly and brutally cracked down on.

Not exactly a major religion, from a purely demographic perspective. A lot of us are Buddhists.

With that said, followers of Islam are treated equally like everyone else, and children were taught from young not to discriminate anyone based on their religion. Halal-only restaurants are plentiful, mosques are well-maintained and backed by the government, and Islamic holidays are observed.

They are treated like every other religion in our nation, we are tolerant but the overwhelming majority are secular atheists so religion in general is looked down upon.

Considered a "foreign religion" and goes against the state-sponsored Austronesian Animism... However 70% of the population follows Southeast Asian Islam that is syncreticize with animism.

Postby Azurius » Sat May 27, 2017 5:24 pm

Legal like any other faith or religion.

Highly discouraged however. Both by the government and officials, as well as in education(where it is also banned, but a subject to study in university, i.e. people can study theocracy and religion here, which often goes hand in hand with studying history, biology [epigenetics, a term we know even most of you have and are aware of]and antropology) and by the absolute majority of citizens too.

Azurius boasts an extremely high rate in atheism, and if any, muslims make up less then 0,1% of the population, same as with any other religion or spiritual belief or cult. Which are mostly culturaly native to certain star systems. You will mostly find islam in form of literature, play or fiction too there, and very rarely in actual belief even within those star systems culturaly afiliated.

Azurius itself can be very "spiritual" for visitors nonetheless. This is because we have breached the limits of our layers(or what you call "dimensions") and also extended our ability to see, perceive and think above the "4th dimension". Though to us, this term would be incorrect: They are more layers of existence, also not to confuse with paralel universes, for which the best description in your understanding we have would be "seperate bubles" or "realms", which technicaly speaking are not even paralel universes either... Hence that term in our definition is false too. These realms also have nothing to do with the above mentioned layers of existence either... In fact you will find these layers of existence in other realms too.

We cannot put it in any better words for you to comprehend... You would need a more evolved brain(we did achieve that over a longer period of genetic engineering), capable to perceive beyond what you call the "4th dimension" to really understand. We hope you at least get a rough idea by us putting it into these words. To truly understand it you would have to experience it yourself and be capable of experiencing it in the first place.

We can also say to that topic: Things like "god" or the "divine" don´t exist, nor does any magic. Only highly evolved science or lifeforms alien to you which you may perceive as "gods" with "divine abilities". Some of your own religous or spiritual people or groups in fact practise, to us, primitive forms of such science. Some of you aren´t that far off in some topics either, especialy on what many of you call "magic rituals" or sometimes even "pseudo science", but you do not understand it the way we do, since it is not magic which you practice, but only primitive forms of in fact highly advanced science without you being aware of it yet either. Nor are you able to see and perceive for yourself what lies beyond your own layers of existence or other layers that you can perceive with your brains.

We can also say that something like "rebirth" exists too, however again this is a false term to us... And that "rebirth" as you call it, may also not be in the form or fancy that your religions or spirituality believe that it is. But something like that does exist in your definition, and we are aware of that too. To be honest this goes even beyond our comprehension, as even we do not fully understand the concept of what you call "rebirth" completely either.... But we do have a good overall understanding of it, and for what we don´t understand, we have good scientific ideas or concepts at least, for most mechanisms.... "Rebirth" goes very very deep and is very complicated, especially since layers of existance are complicated already, the "dead" only enter yet more complicated layers of existance that are able to alter and exist in yet even more layers of existance. We suspect they even go as far as breaching other realms to a certain degree. Same goes for dreams which we too lack to completely understand, we suspect the same in terms of other realms, and know the same, scientifically also proven, about the dreams effects in other layers of existance as well. A persons dreams are capable to enter other layers of existance to a certain degree, though we have yet to understand how they exactly affect the different layers of existance, and how we vice versa affect them in dreams too. And as said we suspect dreams are capable to enter and maybe even alter other realms too.

However you can and should know and understand that after your "life", your existance is not "gone completely", you will continue to exist and your existance is not just "erased completely". However, you will exist in a very different form, and that new existence of yours most likely will be in a very different form or manner from what your religions or spirituality may teach you.

The average Azurian simply is in perception and knowledge far beyond your "4 dimensions". As of such you could find Azurians to be very spiritual in your definition despite above mentioned odds. We do not see ourselves as spiritual at all however.

And very old and completely debunked concepts like religion, spirituality, magic or also islam are to us primitive, or at least to the absolute majority of us. Since belief is not banned, however discouraged in our society, you won´t find many believers, nor beings who take it seriously(quite a lot of us are either not or only partialy homo futuris[as mentioned we geneticaly enigneered ourselves, the original "homo sapiens" doesn´t exist anymore, we long became the "homo futuris"], hence we used the term "beings", since we also cooperate and live with other beings, i.e. non sapiens, around us, mostly highly artificial intelligences in our case). Many of you probably wouldn´t take it seriously either if you could only perceive and understand what we do. We sincerely hope you do someday far in the future.

Legal, but people are wary of extremists.

That said, we have a fairly tight but reasonable immigration policy. This will make it such that "Atlantis won't lose its culture to outsiders" (MP Frederik Kumon, NA)

Uses certain NS stats.

Atlantis is an MT nation that is the third richest country in the world, behind only China and the United States. It is closer to the USA, UK, Italy and Spain (in that order, though Italy and Spain is probably tied) culturally than it is Greece. It is also a naval power.

And no, Atlantis is not underwater: It has a land area around the size of France.

Pros: Classical liberalism, democracy, the West, Brexit, Viktor Orban, free education, strong military
Cons: Authoritarianism, fascism, communism, multiculturalism, Islamism

Islam as a whole is treated much like how Christianity is treated in Europe; With respect but given clear boundaries it can and cannot cross. Reformed-Islam is the current majority religion within Escocaria while Sunni's and Shiite's are treated like any other religion, as well as other Islamic sects. Religious violence is dealt with in accordance to the law and actively discouraged.

Fundamentalists are treated with suspicion and Extremists are dealt with in accordance to the law. The same can be said for other religions.

The government treats Islam no differently than it does any other religion. Karamikoans do treat Islam and Christianity (and to a lesser extent Judaism) more skeptically than other religions, although they don't believe people are made better or worse by their religion. Muslims and Christians compose about 1% of the population each.

Islam makes up about 6% of the total population and is the second largest religion in the country (behind Christianity at 8%), most are only nominal so they do not actually practice it fully. They are tolerated like all other religions but the government follows a strict separation of church and state, refusing to favor one religion over the other.
