Is religion legal? Yes. Unlike totalitarian nation-states, the Confederation is committed to religious freedom as an extension of the Natural Right that is Liberty.
Does your nation have a state religion? What is it? No; if the Confederation ever did, then the predominant religion (Roman Catholicism) would be it.
Does the government give funding to any religion? Never in any official capacity; to do so would engender either Church or State subservience to the other.
Is the state religion enforced? Not applicable; even assuming the Confederation has a state religion, it would still be committed to religious freedom.
Is blasphemy of the state religion a crime? Not applicable.
Is blasphemy of other religions a crime? No.
Does your nation have a "religious police"? No.

Does religion have a large influence on politics? Mostly at the local level; even the Iglesia ni Cristo, notorious in Visayan society for their practice of voting en bloc, is kept in check at the federal level by various other organizations, both religious and otherwise.
Are there any religious political parties? No.
Is religion a requirement for government positions? No.
Can public officials express their religious beliefs? Yes, as the Right to Liberty makes no distinction between public officials and the general public.

Is religion taught in schools? Varies by school.
Are religious classes mandatory? No; even sectarian schools offer religion on a voluntary basis.
Is religion a requirement for becoming a teacher? Not for public schools; otherwise varies by school.
Can teachers express their religious beliefs? Yes, as the Right to Liberty makes no distinction between teachers and students.

Are there any religious political parties? Though legal, there are currently no political parties that campaign on a religious platform. However, certain political parties have been accused of implicit religious bias.
Is religion a requirement for government positions? Clause 1c strictly prohibits the federal and regional governments from requiring any religious test for any office of public trust.
Can public officials express their religious beliefs? Members of parliament may freely express their religious beliefs in parliament, however executive officials may not express their religious beliefs in their capacity as a public official.

Is religion taught in schools? Public schools do not have religious education classes, although the role of religion in history and society is taught in respective classes. Private schools may choose to include religious education.
Are religious classes mandatory? Not applicable to public schools. Private schools may make religious classes mandatory.
Is religion a requirement for becoming a teacher? Clause 1c strictly prohibits the federal and regional governments from requiring any religious test for any office of public trust. Private schools may require a religious test.
Can teachers express their religious beliefs? Public school teachers may not express their religious beliefs in their capacity as an educator, however are free to express their religion otherwise.

Is religion legal? yes
Does your nation have a state religion? What is it? yes, Sed Forfäder, a native folk religion.
Does the government give funding to any religion? not directly but indirectly sort of to Sed Forfäder.
Is the state religion enforced? Yes, except on those of allied nations, who are free to worship their own faiths.
Is blasphemy of the state religion a crime? Not unless it's particularly bad, usually just get lots of communal hate.
Is blasphemy of other religions a crime? No
Does your nation have a "religious police"? No, ordinary law enforcement handles what may come up.

Does religion have a large influence on politics? yes
Are there any religious political parties? No as Vandario is a One Party State, but those within the Party are often devout thus it has much to play within politics.
Is religion a requirement for government positions? Officially no, but you would be very hard pressed to get anywhere without being of the State faith.
Can public officials express their religious beliefs? Yes, and often do.

Is religion taught in schools? yes
Are religious classes mandatory? not really as isn't an official class for religion outside religious private schools. But it sure is intwined with many aspects of school life. Especially in Vannish History class.
Is religion a requirement for becoming a teacher? No
Can teachers express their religious beliefs? if not of Sed Forfäder then they could lose their job for other reasons. So officially cannot fire you for it, but they'll find something else.

Often if someone practices something else in private law enforcement will turn a blind eye, as often they feel they have bigger fish to fry. Those that do also tend not to agitate about it, as the government is aware of this and let's it be as they too have more important issues. If bothered enough they would fully crack down on it. So anyone of another faith usually keeps things private and doesn't irritate about it.

Of course, things like "God hates gays" are right out.

Is religion legal? Yes, absolutely.
Does your nation have a state religion? What is it? Officially, yes. Eastern Orthodox Christianity. But as a practical matter the state, outside of the royal court, operates on a secular basis.
Does the government give funding to any religion? No, but it provides tax breaks to churches and religious institutions.
Is the state religion enforced? For commoners, no. Officially members of the royal family are required to belong to the state church, but the only punishment for violating that provision is that the offender can be excluded from the order of secession.
Is blasphemy of the state religion a crime? No.
Is blasphemy of other religions a crime? No.
Does your nation have a "religious police"? No.
Does religion have a large influence on politics? Religion has a moderate influence on politics.
Are there any religious political parties? Officially, a handful of parties are nominally religious. However, even they tend not to focus on strictly religious issues.
Is religion a requirement for government positions? Outside of the royal court, no. Within the royal court, in practice, generally no except for certain specific positions, such as for the Royal Chaplain.
Can public officials express their religious beliefs? Yes

Is religion taught in schools? In public schools students are not taught religion, but are taught about religion. There are private schools where religion is taught.
Are religious classes mandatory? For public schools no. For private schools: it depends upon the school.
Is religion a requirement for becoming a teacher? Same as above.
Can teachers express their religious beliefs? For public schools that is a grey area. Teachers are not allowed to engage in religious proselytizing or indoctrination of students. Whether “expressing their religious beliefs” constitutes either of those things in is very fact specific. As always, in the case of private schools, it is up to the school.
