I thought it would be interesting to know... So I asked. Answer away. :)

Russian Orthodox, as in real life

My nation has a unique religion. Known as "Spiritual Collectivism" Members may pray individually but are required to attend daily masses.

The word "religion" is not in the Mirwanian dictionary.

We, the Queen of the Constitutional Monarchy of Mirwa, regrets not being able to answer your question and would like to offer you a complimentary tribble-burger instead.

The United Socialist States of Zukov is divided in 2 different religions. 70,47% Russian Orthodox and 29,63% islamic.

Octovonia has no religion. We are atheists, religion is all just a hoax. Atheists make up 99% of the country's population, the last 1% are followers of the Jedi faith and the ways of the Force.

Whatever the people want.

It's a new form of Christianity. Rather than a lot of group things like a Sunday sermon, a lot of worship is done by yourself.

Religion is largely not aloud forum in the government, as it is forced to live with the attitudes of those around them, however the Okyton empire does have an official religion which has not yet been recinded, this is a kind of king worship, giving the Emperor the status of a living god, in modern society however this is of no concequence.

Manarth has it's own religion, that is rapidly expanding within our allies as well. Known as "Prophetism", in real life it would seem to be a mixture of Buddism and Islam.

The "Prophet" is considred by those of the Unitarian Prophetists to be a holy figure, who created a philosophy for life that is the best to live by. By the Orthodox Prophetists, however, he is considered to be the one true diety, that came down to Manarth to give his chosen people the "True Way" of life.

Various prophetetic speach is ingrained in Manarthian culture, even amoung the non-believers. "Prophet!" and "To the Prophetless Void with you!" are such expressions.

Religious Beliefs in Manarth are as follows:

Unitarian Prophetism: 32%
Atheist: 16%
Sunni Islam (Occupied territory): 13%
Orthodox Prophetism: 11%
Shi'ite Islam (Occupied territory): 10%
Anglican Christian (from ally CoC): 7%
Russian Orthodox Christian (from ally Edenstein): 3%
Other Christian Faith: 3%
Druidic (from HO): 3%
Other, Non-Christian Faith: 2%

Zexarn exists upon a large island, partially surrounded by reef. When a explorer's ship crashed on the reef, a chest with, among other items, a bible in it, washed onto the shore. After years of experimental translation, a vague translation was made. The denizens of the island decided that it was a message from God, so they created, based on the translation,(87% accuracy) a mixture of the Jewish and Christian faiths. 98.7% of the population subscribes to this religion.

who can tell, i, ravi punjab, grand guru of samurland, am a universalist, but no earthly idea wat the percentages of people are. large groups are universalists, hindus, buddhists, atheists, and christians of all sorts of dominations. there is a small amount of muslims and jews. there is an everygrowing sikh population as well, and in the north there are several people who have reverted back to the old norse religion

Total atheism. Religious types tend to be hounded out of the nation or locked up in asylums.

Roman Catholic: 87%
Buddhist and Hindu: 4%
Judaism: 3%
Other Christian: 3%
Muslim: 2%
Other: 1%

The Holy Republic has an official religion dubbed 'Aliliahishness.' Something about a balance to everything, and giving respect to 'All,' or, 'Aliliah.' Something like that. Either way it's a huge part of the state, seeing as how the Religous head and Political head are one in the same. Other religions can co-exist in the state though due to the very pliability of the belief. Simply the religion is this-

'There's something out there, say thanks, live your life.'

Doomduckistan is slightly anti-religious, and its policies tend to annoy most devout persons-

The complete lack of government support and the taxation of churches also adds to the number of people who are not a member of an organized religion- there's less churches to choose from.

The Queen herself is Wiccan. Therefore, freedom of / from religion is absolute. No one may impose religion on anyone else. A tenet of the nation is the Wiccan Rede: "An you harm no other, do as you will."

the most widely held belief in carlemnaria is the nalanuthu
which means simply way or path in the mountains
its nearest equivelant in earth's mundane world would have
to be taoism. but to equate the too would be an oversimplifiction
unfair to both. the nalanotho or 'hidden way' also has its
fallowers. the nalanotho could be called perhapse a gnostic
form of nalanuthu. though once far more numerous isolated
communities of nalanotho are still to be found, building
their underground cities of twisting passageways.

there are of course every belief and none belief ever immagined
represented, though chauvanistic monothiestic ones are rare
and represent the smallest portion of the population
while second only to the nalanuthu is a more generalized
and nebulous sort of agnosticism. true athists also exist
though they, like their opposit extreme are relatively few
in number.

for numbers:

32% nalanuthu
24% agnostic
19% a kind of defacto ecuminical monothiesm

and as mentioned anything resembling christianity or islam
share the last couple of tenths of a percent

nearly all beliefs see nearly all other beliefs as good
and respect and revere each other's alters, grottos and groves

fanatacism and chauvanism of any sort are however, naturaly
enough, frowned upon, again by very nearly all.

According to the Articles of the Confederacy of Mattikistan, religious freedom is one of the inalienable human rights we live by. That said, most of our population choose not to be religious. The last National Census recorded the following:

Atheist: 75%
Christian (and all variants, e.g. Catholics): 15%
Judaism: 5%
Islam: 3%
Other: 2%

The majority of Jewish and Muslim religious peoples come from various refugees we have taken in over the years, some of whom decided to remain and become Confederacy citizens. The Other catagory includes all minor religions such as 'Wicca'.

Catholic 75%, Indigenous beliefs 11%, Hindu 5%, Muslim 4%, Confucianism 4%, Other (comprising mainly Mormon, Jewish and Bahai) 1%.

The Most Serene and Pious Republic of Santa Sagissima is a religious state, administered by the Holy Order of Divine Wisdom. Even though we are mainly Catholic, due to the colonial period, the revolutionary unity and fervour of the peoples of our Islands, which but recently broke the back of imperialist domination of our lands, overcomes narrow sectarianism. Indeed, even though only 11% of our population follow purely indigenous creeds, the religious practice of almost all faiths is so imprinted by indigenous custom that the religious calendar of the different faiths coincide to a large degree with the traditional calendar of festivities. The Holy Order of Divine Wisdom, or Santa Sofia, is a radically democratic society, which for administrative purposes, is open to all religions.

When the Republic of Grazhkjistan was founded in 1735 by Antonin Dvelyevic, he required that all people under his rule would be Russian Orthodox.

However, he was overthrown by "Supreme King and Deity " Yuri Golayaven, who demanded he be worshipped as a god, and publicly executed anyone who wouldn't comply.

When his son, Yuri II, was born, the people of Grazhkjistan were ordered to worship the boy as well. This went on for many generations.

However, since I killed Yuri XXVIII myself, and took control of this country, I have disbanded the "Golayavents". Everyone in Grazhkjistan is now Russian Orthodox once again.

About 65% of the population follow the old pagan religion. It is similar to the Norse religion with some minor differences. Many of the rest are atheists or agnostics, and after that it is split between various forms of christianity (all of them modified to get Callisdrunian converts, i.e. rules on such things as sexual morality have been relaxed or dropped) the largest of these being Catholicism. Unitarian Universalism is quite popular, more so than any actual religion besides the old pagan one. There are groups of followers of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism as well.

We don't advocate religion, nor do we try to dissuade followers. Few religions exist in Baltiamo, but Catholic followers and parishes have been found in areas.

most of our citizens believe in God of the thunder RAYCO, this religion called Rayconism. rest citizens is Roman Catholic, Protestant. Some people believe in Shamanism or voodoo (mostly African emigrants)

~Cardinal DeVito~

It is taken as an established fact among Wyrms and some dragons that they were created from a common ancestor by the First Dragon. Scientific and thaumaturgical research actually provides some basis for this statement.

However, any attempt to worship the First tends to result in spontaneous combustion of whatever temples or shrines are involved. Apparently, She does not like being worshipped.

A religion has been formed in the Corellian Region that has this one knowledge:

That there is an omnipresent, omnipotent and omniescent force that we live with. It penetrates us, and holds the universe together.

we have no state religon. Oceanic Liberty believes that when government and religon mixes you get nations run by the Taliban or the Catholic Church.

With ancestory historically rooted in Catholicism, Pope Hope has grown into a nation more spiritual than religious over the centuries. We keep the surname of our ancestors out of tradition and respect, so no, our leader is not a female Pope, nor a Pope at all.

The peoples of CassiusTheAncestor worship me, Cassius The Ancestor, naturally.

As a living Ancestor they can see me and ask miracles directly from their god. Sometimes I even grant them.

And what is so wrong with a nation run by the Catholic Church? Vatican City looks like its doing all right...

I would tell you to ask 16th century Jews living in Spain about that, or any of the women who have been put to the stake over the years, or maybe even the "heretics" who have also been burned alive. Lets not forget the corruption, "hey I spent all the churches funds sooooo for the low price of ten gold coins step right up and get PERMANENT absolution from all you sins those already committed and those you will someday commit." says Pope Leo the X (10th for those of you who don't know your numerals).

BTW Vatican City looks ok today BECAUSE IT IS A TOURIST ATTRACTION. It might look worse if all the burned and tortured bodies that the church has "racked" up over the years were put on display.

But that put aside my statement was a jab at ALL Theocracies.

Hey, so would Berlin if all the bodies of those slain in the Holocaust were displayed.

Or in Sydney, the corpses of an ENTIRE RACE [Tasmanians] that the government authorised the murder of.

Or in Washington, with all the American Indians killed to fufill the 'Manifest Destiny'.

etcetera... And on and on...

My point is, that all organizations have skeletons in their closet. However, the Catholic Church commited those atrocities in a time before the modern world was really taking shape. Whereas the top three examples all occured in the 'modern' era.

And I don't see The Pope executing anyone much these days...

What do you have against Mormons?

But i would agree with the other levels, pretty much as what my nation would have.

The United Imperium of Crossman has freedom of religion, though our dominant religions are Presbyterian, Roman Catholic and Wiccan. We also have minorities of Jewish, Islamic, Orthodox, Methodist, Bhuddist, Shinto, and various pagan religions.

Christian-Buddhism? Interesting...

The Disputed Territories of Jurazzik has no recognized, official religion. We allow the people to worship as they wish, though the nation reserves the power to outlaw those religions which cause revolts or violence. Since we have a policy to allow refugees to shelter in our beautiful nation, religions are varied. No true expensive study has been done, but it is estimated that a breakdown would be something like this:

Judeo-Christian: 38% (about half Jewish, half Protestant Christian)
Islamic: 30%
Mixed "minority" religions 10%
Buddhist: 7%
Hindu 7%
Wiccan 7%
Native scaled wolf worshippers 1%

Our national religion is christianity but all except voodoo are aloud.

There is no official religion, and the government is officially secular (not atheist, secular, there's a difference). However, religion does play a very important role in society. Religion does play some role in the government, as membership of the lowest house of the legislature is divided up by religion and race to ensure that all have a say in the government.

As for the breakdown, slightly more than half are evangelical Christians. There are significant minorities of Catholics, Jews, Muslims, non-religious, mainline Protestants and Buddhists. Traditiional Native Ytovian animistic beliefs are starting to make a bit of a comeback.

Mostly Athiest, but some believe in the old Norse religions, most notably our President, Harald Gustavsson (who died in battle with the Islandians and Hudecians, went to Valhalla, and the descended from Valhalla and reassumed mortal form).

And I don't see The Pope executing anyone much these days...

no but i do see him doing the following:

Covering for pedophile priests

Spreading mis information about Birth control and Aids/HIV in high risk regions of the world

opressing the masses.

all that aside MY ORIGINAL COMMENT REFFERED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF DAYS GONE BY.

Of course. I had no wish to offend. Please, forgive me if I did.

Technologia has no official religion, and the government tries to distance itself from religion as much as possible in order to assure total religious freedom for the populace. President Anderson himself is essentially agnostic. He was raised as a Christian, but has deviated some to form his own beliefs.

As for Technologia's population breakdown, it goes like this:

40% Christian (55% Methodist, 25% Catholic, 20% Other)
15% Atheist
15% Islamic
10% Agnostic
8% Jewish
6% Buddhist
6% Other

There is no "official" religion in Galmorra, but we do recognize the Technocrat Syndic (tech worship) as our "native" religion.

Christianity: 33%
Islam: 22%
Hinduism: 15%
Technocratic Syndic (national religion): 14%
Buddhism: 6%
Zen: 4%
Indigenous: 3%
Agnostic: 3%

Obstat, as a repulic devoted to the persuit of individual liberty, does not endorse the concept of state religion as it would infringe on the founding ideal of the nation. However, here are the most recent schematics of belief systems found in Obstat:

The Holy Empire of the Ephraimite Republic's official religion is Samaritism, a small sect of Hebrews that diverged from the Jews a long time ago (they are said to be the remnants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel aka Ephraim as opposed to the Southern Kingdom of Judah of which modern Jews descend, representing the "lost tribes" as opposed to Judah and Benjamin). However, small Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities still exist in lew of the state cult.

We are a Jewish nation, in a Jewish region. The predominant branch is Reform. There is a small Christian minority, estimated less than 50,000, which is mostly Protestant.

We have total religious freedom in our country and no official stats on religions is kept. However, our best estimate is that about 40% of the country woships the great god, Ganja and his St. Timothy Leary. 40% is some form of christianity and the other 20% is a mixture of islam, buddist, hindu, pagan, Mormon and intermixtures of them (a growing cult is a combination of Methodist and Ganja worship.)

Cetaceaus's population would be:

74% nonreligious(65% athiest, 35% agnostic)
12% druidic
7% christian (10% catholic, 53% protestant, 47% other)
6% taoist
1% other

The main religion here in Finnish Technocracy is the Machine cult. It has the support of the goverment and infact give's shape to the culture, goverment and people of the Technocracy.

The doctrine is quite loose and give's it's followers freedom to believe in wich diety they wish, or none at all if they so desire. What it teaches is that humans should, trought science, strive to transcend the boundries of flesh and matter. To truly master the world around us, our very selves and whatever lies beyond...

There is no "official" religion in Galmorra, but we do recognize the Technocrat Syndic (tech worship) as our "native" religion.

Ah, other seekers of enlightment. How pleasant, I Archbishop Aosar offer to send local theists to discuss the possible differences of our religions and to thus create strong diplomatic ties.

The Holy Empire of the Ephraimite Republic's official religion is Samaritism, a small sect of Hebrews that diverged from the Jews a long time ago (they are said to be the remnants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel aka Ephraim as opposed to the Southern Kingdom of Judah of which modern Jews descend, representing the "lost tribes" as opposed to Judah and Benjamin).

Hmm... I just wondering; Do Samaritans still exist in RL in the modern day?

Flower Arranging - the good people of my country pursue it with the kind of dogmatic zeal normally reserved for crusades and jihadic wars. Anyone questioning "The Big Book of Flower Arranging" is in serious deep water.

The Free Land of Gangstas Paradice only has one religion. Money!

:eek: :mp5:

The Empire is 100% atheist.

There is no official religion in New Livingstonia.

Estimates say 5-10% of the population may be practising religion, but most are probably immigrants.

We are atheist and although we believe in freedom of religion we have no leaders and theirfore any religious leaders are arrested for brainwashing and generally being leaders.

We have no official state religion, but in the "Appointment of Spiritual Advisor" issue, I selected the Catholic.

IRL, I'm Protestant, and that is the basis for my social decision making.

Our nation is economically strong and socially Liberal. We are very tolerant but we crack down on Racism and hate.

Our people are ordered to worship the government...those who fail to comply generally wind up in a tremendous deal of pain.

The People's Republic of Vistadin compiled a census and these are the results.


We are 100% Atheist!!!!!

The devout citizens of The Greater Forest worship all forms of nature, both tangible and otherwise, specifically the incarnation of the creator spirit itself, the great life tree To'Kal. Through attunement with the world, they shall achieve paradise...or at least make it pretty.

The Republic of El Zenith doesn't have any official religion, because this nation is secular and liberal, and focuses on freedom. This nation also doesn't want to discriminate certain or all religions.

However, according to the National Archive Department, this nation has:
1. Buddhism (50%)
2. Christianity (10%)
3. Islam (10%)
4. Jewism (5%)
5. Hinduism (5%)
6. Confucianism (10%)
7. New Age Spirituality (5%)
8. Atheists (5%)

Our people can choice any religion. Only religion which is very unwished here is Islam (beacuse of historical reasons). The most people are Christians (89%), 5% are Protestants, 4% are Buddhist. and 2% are atheists.
