Freedom of Religion in YN?

[Aressna]

I couldn't find a thread about freedom of religion in my brief searches, so here it is. The title is self explanatory.

For example, in my nation, the Government pursues a policy of state atheism, however subdivisions in our country allow local religious worship. All synagogues, churches, mosques, temples or large colanders (we have a few nutters here in Aressna) are state-owned and run, and protection is provided for followers. So in a way, we have moderate religious freedom.

[Subhurbia]

Subhurbia has freedom of religion. The government doesn’t restrict any faith so people can practice any faith they choose. Trying to convert others to a religion wouldn’t work too well though.

While we technically have freedom of religion, Our Goverment highly “encourages” atheism by not allowing people to practice their religion in public. This law is not heavily enforced, but it is still there, and many people are highly discriminatory towards people of faith.

[Azadistan-land of the free]

[Shurtur]

Most Shurians are faithful adherents of Îrmykhûkyr. There are many foreign traders and emissaries in Shurtur, and they are treated with decorum and respect (when due) despite religious difference. Infidels (îrêgyonuway in Shurian, literally "unconsecrated") are distrusted, but otherwise tolerated. They may not perform the more flamboyant rituals in public but are allowed to erect houses of worship.

[Philippinae]

Religions of the culturally and politically impure are banned.

[Kyneland]

Kyneland does maintain religious freedom with some restrictions.

Any religious act that would result in harm upon another is a crime.
Public prayer can be considered a disturbance of the public. Public preaching often results in fines and forced removal.
It is illegal to don religious garments within most higher government institutions, but mainly the legislative building.
Teachers, tutors, etc., are forbidden from evangelical activities - even off-duty. Serving in the Salvation Army counts as evangelicalism.

It is highly frowned upon to mentally abuse a child with the concepts of “Hell”, eternal damnation and monstrous suffering.

If you have questions on specific things, like “is X a crime?”, feel free to ask.

[The Northern Free Land]

"Freedom of religion" in the Confederacy exists insofar as you are allowed to observe/practice whatever you please on your own property. Beyond that, what you can do in public is largely dependent on the rules and social norms of the community.Larger cities have explicitly enshrined freedom of religion in their laws, and celebrate the diversity of such. In the Liberty Guard's territory, public displays of religion (dress, gatherings, etc) are tolerated so long as adherents are peaceful and do not act with dissident intent. The Silver Wolves' territory is an ethnically and culturally uniform society, which places higher value on social cohesion and unity. Here, the dominant religions are Christianity and Paganism. Those with other beliefs are generally kept out of these communities due to free association laws, save for a few homegrown atheists, who are tolerated as long as they don't disrupt social cohesion.

[Tondo Federation]

Freedom of religion is a protected right here, but we keep an eye out on any religion which performs inhumane sacrifices that damage the environment.

[Vyzhva]

A de jure State Atheism has been enforced upon the Vyzhvan people, but a cult of personality revolves around Vazyl Ruban and the rest of the members of the Collective People's Maslihat. This cult of personality is thought to have arisen as Ruban took power, wishing to deify his predecessor as well as himself.

[Shurtur]

Shurtur tolerates the pagans of its land, but many are subject to harsher taxes and other limitations; such decrees are decided by the region's suffete.

[Great Nortend]

There is limited freedom of religion in Great Nortend, constrained by the Statute of Limmes, the Conformity Act, the Acts against Recusancy, the Relief Act, the Prohibitions Act and the Religious Tolerence Act.

There is established, under the Statute of Limmes, the Church of Nortend, to be the sacred authority in this Realm, and installed the Sovereign King Alexander the First, his heirs and successours, as the Supreme Governour of the Church Mundane, and forbade the accession of any Papist to the throne, or any marriage with a Papist by a member of the Royal family without leave.

The Conformity Act further restricted the religious activity of the King's subjects, requiring the implementation of uniform liturgy across the dioceses, with the promulgation of the Great Bible of St Edmund in 1616, which drew heavily on the then newly published Authorised King James's Version as well as the traditional Latin Vulgate, and the Book of Offices and Book of Homilies. It also required attendance weekly of subjects on Sundays and certain other days, on pain of a fine of sixpence, then a large sum of money, however only attendance on certain days nowadays is required with the passage of the Relief Act. The Jews living in specified Jewries were excused from this requirement, however they were still forbidden from establishing synagogues until 1699.

The Acts against Recusancy were enacted during the height of the Popish Riots, in an attempt at quelling the discontent of a number of avowed Catholics. It prescribed harsh penalties for those recusants refusing to attend services of the Church of Nortend, and forbade the establishment of any non-Cardican church in the King's dominions. It also created a number of requirements for any person wishing to hold public office including the following requirements still extant to-day: receiving of the sacrament of communion within a year of taking office, taking the Oath of Supremacy, Oath of Allegiance, Oath of Doctrine and swearing against transubstantiation. Even to-day, Jews are not permitted to hold public office.

The passage of the Relief Acts in 1922 repealed a number of previous regulations, including the requirement of attendance at church on Sundays. It also repealed the penal prohibitions against non-Cardicans, excluding specifically Popish recusants, with progress towards ecumenism, though the requirements of public office remained. The Act provided indemnity to those of the Lutheran, Anglican and Calvinism faiths, and permitted them to hold public office, provided the requirements were met. In addition, the Act finally permitted the practice of non-Christian faiths other than Judaism in Great Nortend, leading to the establishment of Hindu and other Oriental communities, especially in Lendert.

The Prohibitions Act of 1977 however, forbade the adherence to any proscribed religion or spiritual group by any subject or citizen or alien of the King in section 4. Section 5 forbids the promotion of any proscribed religion or spiritual group by any subject or citizen of the King or alien, including the sale of any supposed holy text without lawful excuse and the habiting of oneself in the garments or habit of any proscribed religion or spiritual group. Schedule I of the Act provides that the 'heretical cult of Muhammed' is a proscribed religion for the purposes of the Act.

The Religious Tolerence Act of 1978 however, permitted non-subjects, being citizens and aliens, to adhere to a proscribed religion provided they did not otherwise contravene the Prohibitions Act. It also finally ended penal provisions against Catholics, allowing them to practise Roman Catholicism in Great Nortend. Therefore, nowadays whilst it is legal to practise most religions, a number are banned under the Prohibitions Act for subjects of the King. Furthermore, holders of public office are required to be in communion with the Church of Nortend, which includes Anglicans, Lutherans and some Calvinists. Tithes of 10 per cent of agricultural output and income is also payable to the Church by all people in Great Nortend, however this can be commuted to charitable service or waived for the poor.
