State Religion: Have a Denomination for Your Nation ?

Postby GOLTZBORG » Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:28 pm

The govt of Goltzborg has a strict law regarding the seperation of state and church; therefore, there is no so-called "state religion" allowed within the Commonwealth of Goltzborg; therefore, all religious denominations are allowed to tend to their respective "flocks" in their congregations.

If your govt allows religious denominations to preach and teach the people of your nation, does your govt have a so-called "state religion", that it supports, sponsers, or even subsidizes ?

Zearing permits any religion within the borders of the Federal Republic, though practices such as cannibalism are...best left at the gates, so to speak.

I'm not actually a racist. That's just how I play the nation. Leave me alone if it bothers you that much.

If something I have posted offends you, step back, take a deep breath, and ask yourself: Does he care? If it really offends you, drop me a line. I'm always up for a civil conversation.

We have no state religion, and the government does not show public support for any one denomination over another.

There's no "state religion" as such, but the dominant religion Saweya is deeply entwined with the culture of the Inuto people, and the priesthood of the god of the Sun and of Justice are often consulted in legal affairs (except in matters directly pertaining to the cult of the Sun, where it would entail a conflict of interest.) But any non-coercive religion can get government sanction and, while not "support" as such, at least tax-exempt status.

OOC:

Just to clarify the topic a bit.....

The question is...as to whether or not your govt supports / favors one denomination over other denominations; which, by definition, would be a govt sponsered / supported "State Religion".

Virtually all of the sphere is Christian, though primarily non-denominational. As a result, laws and treatises passed within reflect the religion's tenets on the majority of issues, since not doing so would not represent democratic process. However, Christianity is not enforced as a national religion, though it's influences are clearly seen.

No State Religion. Religious practice is illegal, and considered a mental illness, people openly expressing religious views are usually tried as political disedents and sentenced to life in a labour camp or death by firing squad.

Quite impossible, our people have been enlightend, they no longer think as individuals, the do not care for individual freedom anymore, and only the wellbeing of the collective. No Religious belief exists anymore, individuals who do are removed from the collective to protect it. The same as those promoting ideas such as capitalism or other dangerous, self centered imperialist ideologies such as fascism. The will of the people is that only the collective matters. if people do not conform to the government of the collective they must be removed.

Nations like yours need to be "removed," permanently where possible, but that is not the subject here, much as you disgust us.

Our constitution defines Starligh as an atheist nation. You can practice any religion in the privacies of your homes or newspapers or radio / tv, etc. But expressing religious opinions is lawfully considered lying and therefore possibly fraud. So atheism might count as state "religion".

While people are allowed to pray to whatever God or Gods that they want to, the state supported church is The Lusitanian Catholic Church.

Unconstitutional, and it is policy that we are not attributed to any religion traditionally or officially, as we aren't.
