NationStates Jolt Archive

I suggest everyone makes up their religion and we have a database to keep it all. Along with your choice of religion add your religion symbol. as well as a description of it.

EDIT:Alright, all I'm gonna do is list the names of the Nation, then give a link to your response. This is mainly just a directory for nations religions. The nations in the same letter catagory are not alphebetized. . .that's too hard :D (Maybe I'll do that someday, but not for now).

FINISHED IT!!! YAY ME!!!! :D

Chaos Worship- The Majority of the Imperium worship the Four Gods of Chaos; either as singular gods or as a pantheon (Chaos Undivided).
The four Gods of Chaos are:

Nurgle; Lord of Disease
Slaanesh; Dark Prince of Pain and Pleasure
Tzeentch: Master of Magic
Khorne: The Blood God, God of War.

The secretive and powerful Adeptus Mechanicus worship the Machine God; the hallowed power behind all technology.

Freedom of Religion, however most Vuhifellians are Athiest*

*Sp?

Strictly fanatical, fundamentalist Greek Orthodox.

well technically in tograna there is freedom of religion but since everyone realises the pointlessness of religion it is not specified, we educate children in a way which shows the folly of belief in an all powerful deity

Fredom of Religion of course. On the other hand most of our people tend to be Discordian.

Durthangism: named after the Prophet and leader of our nation, Lord Durthang.
Just live your life. You make decisions every day. If you make the wrong decision you die, you make the right decision and you will live. If a Durthangist dies, then that was his fate.
But death is not always a punishment, one who dies in battle after fighting well, may receive rich rewards in heaven after his death. Someone who is victorious goes home, is honored and receives the same rewards when he dies naturally.
A death is avenged by a death. And a guest is honored above all, you give him your best food and protect him with your life (even if this person is an enemy)
Someone who enters our nation armed and uninvited is an invader offcourse.

Those are the most important rules of Durthangism.

"The Great Gods of Fire are the deities worshipped by the Charr. They are many, and yet they are one. They are nameless, yet their true name may not be spoken. They are the Ones forged by the unbearable heat of the Crystal Desert.

They are present in all that burns. Their powerful lifeforce can be seen in the living, breathing morass of destruction that is fire. Any with eyes can see this lifeforce in work as fire licks and spreads, enveloping all that it disdains and leaving no-one it touches unharmed.

Thus, to be closer to the Gods of Fire, we need only keep a flame nearby. To pay our respects to their immense power, great Flame Temples must be erected and allowed to burn for all time. Should the fire be extinguished, the Gods will be angered and will bring down terrible wrath upon us. For as long as the fire burns, they will bring glory and power. ‘Tis the duty of the Flame Keepers to maintain the flame. Should there be no temple nearby; a statue -- either wood or a more sophisticated firestone statue -- may be burned to keep the Gods near to the Charr.

There is no 'symbol' of our faith -- only the flame."

The religion of the Cymbrogi of Liskeinland is Roman Catholicism, which influences its laws - however, its government is secularly chosen, and freedom of religion is allowed and promoted.

My other nations vary between atheism and daemon veneration.

OOC: Ah, but I'm a corrupted CHaos worshipping Imperium :P

And the Machine God is a C'tan; specifically the Dragon

freedom of religion-
53% Protestant
34% Islam
8% Catholic
3% Athiest
2% Jew

The government is resoundly Athiest, although the only practiced (and legal) religion is The National Church of Concremo, similar to Buhdism (sp?) in most aspects. Anyone caught worshiping a diety deemed 'unprovable' is given one week to make mass donations to The Church and attend daily practices. If they fail, it is Prison Without Parole for one month, followed by another week. If even by then they fail to reform, they are declared excommunicate by both the church and the government, with legal (and otherwise) Open Bounties on their heads and the Police actively searching or them.

Madnestan is atheist nation. People can believe whatever they want, but as soon as one begins to think that he has right to act like there was a power stronger than The Master, Colonel Tamujid - The Minister of Everything, he shall be shot immediately. Carrying symbols of religion or talking about religions in public will be immediately followed by the same penalty.

^ Now there is someone whos (if in RL) views i respect!

Well thank you! :p

The people of Barlibgil are allowed worship anyone or anything that is certified by the government. Any member of a religion caught openly worshipping a god/goddess not endorsed by the state can be imprisoned. This is the way we keep religious radicals out of Barlibgil. As soon as any religion tries to force it's ideas into the government they lose their state endorsement...then the REAL persecution begins... ;)

The native religion is polytheistic with nine major gods/goddesses and a multitude of minor and demigods, along with a few of the less "I want to bathe in your blood" demons.

The major Gods are:
Li-child sun god
Thasseran-magic god
Yterran-harvest/growth/prosperity god
Wesyr-knowledge/logic/science/history god

The major Goddesses are:
Althera-ocean goddess
Thanla-lust/beauty/future goddess
Vem-child moon goddess
Velm-war goddess
Pterna-healing/love/nature/purity goddess

Most of my people's short lives (the average life span is 30) are taken up by working, so they dont really have time to worship. However, a cult called The Illious has formed in the more remote corners of my city-nation, preaching the worship of the Chaos god Tzeentch and his emmisary in Einhauser, Paulus Dermokaites.

And the Machine God is a C'tan; specifically the Dragon

OOC: Humm. I must have him do something about this... distant branch of the faith some time.

Markreich allows it's citizens to worship as they please. :)

We are catholic/jesuit

sephrioth orthodox sith

As of now, the Dark Side of the Force. Once worshiped the Light Side untill the colapse of the Galactic Republic of Huntaer.

The Holy Church of Floyd-90%
Roman Catholicism-9%
Jewish-.5%
Islam-.5%

As you might have guessed.......we are predominately (80%) rastafarian. The remaining 20% has not had the initiative to adopt a religion yet stating, "It's too hot, mon."

Freedom of and from Religion is one of the rights laid down in the Sentient Civil Rights Act, and as such, no official religion can be established. However, the Emperor considers himself a Christian though he refuses to acknowledge any denomination.

The population is roughly half Christian, with this half being split up among the many denominations contained therein.

Another quarter is Muslim, and next to Christianity, Islam is the largest religion within Arizona Nova.

The remaining quarter is divided between various religions of both Terran and extra-terrestrial origins.

No state religion. 65% of the population would describe themselves as Protestants, with 25% describing themselves as Pagans and the 10% being split between Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, in that order. Also some smaller religions, but they're less than 1%.

Roman Catholic, and an occaisional protestant.

Freedom of worship, but predominately Christian.

The Nationalist Empire of Azurbajan has no religeon and no freedom of religeon..come to think of it, theres almost no freedom :)

96% Protestant, the other percent is islam or atheist, but the Gestapo is cracking down on those. :)

Elyzabel is atheistic by constitutional decree. The majority of the population (roughly 96% as of the most recent census) is also atheistic. Freedom of religion is granted... however, baptisms at birth are prohibited. It is wrong to force a kid into a religion before they can think, which would be sheer brainwashing (and no, this isn't coming from some sort of hippie, but from a quasi-conservative republic...lol).

To sum it up:

Atheist.

Alexandria City-States has Freedom of Religion, though a good portion of the country is Agnostic.

Many relgions are practiced and almost all are generally accepted (though there was that one weird guy who believed that he'd get served fine wine and have Star Trek re-runs for the rest of eternity...)

Chaos Worship- The Majority of the Imperium worship the Four Gods of Chaos; either as singular gods or as a pantheon (Chaos Undivided).

OMG YOU PLAY IT TOO???!?!?!?! I LOVE YOU MAN! GO WARHAMMER


My nation is, whatever that hell people want to, but NO preaching. My people keep there beliefs to themselves, and come to there own conclusions. I HAVEN'T HAD A WAR FOR 45, 000 YEARS! THE LAST ONE WAS BETWEEN TWO CAVE MEN OVER A PEICE OF MEAT!

By decree of QUETZAL, our Regional AI, Otagia has freedom of religion. Many are atheistic or agnostic, though there are several cults that have sprung up worshiping QUETZAL as a god. They are encouraged somewhat, as their loyalty is no longer in question.

Conservatism

EDIT: thatcherism to be exact

Freedom of Religion. Anyone is allowed to practice their religion whenever and wherever they want on public property, within reason. (i.e. prayer is fine, but certain rituals such as a brist should be done in private or in a synagouge or hospital). Their ability to worship on private property is dependant upon the owner of said property's wishes.

New Age religions are generally treated as laughable fads among the youth.

Protestant (predominately Lutheran, Methodist, and Anglican) 59%
Roman Catholic 14%
Orthodox (Russian, Greek) 10%
Jewish 7%
Islam 2%
"Eastern" (Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, et cetera) 4%
Atheist or Agnostic 4%

Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox

well guys, you are most likely going to find me completely insane after this, but here we go.

Pain and Misery

I've got two nations:

The serious one, Aerialis, I made up as starting as a haven for scientists and other "wtiches" during the dark ages. Through the years, it tended to keep on the Progressive Edge of things. So the majority is Atheist/Agnostic, but there's been a recent upsurge in such nondeistic religions as Buddhism and Taoism. Christianity is considered by most of the populous as a dated theory, good for its time but no longer necessary in an advanced society. However, because of its zealous evangelizing, it has been somewhat more successful than the other Abrahamic religions. And, because of its roots in the Inquisition, Protestantism has had slightly more success than the traditional Catholicism. The indigenous population, however, practice a tribal religion known as Kari-Kari.

Kari-Kari is a mythology which says that the earth was birthed out of the same mother eons ago, and that it undergoes many different forms. This is the fifth form. They believe in a connection between all people, reverence for the earth, and that the soul ascends several planes to reach Arikku---a state of bliss that's comparable to heaven, where it rests with the "Mannara", literally translated to "The Source", but meaning the mother.

Atheist/Agnostic: 45%
Kari-Kari: 30%
Buddhist: 10%
Taoist: 7%
Christian (Protestant): 3%
Cristian (Catholic): 2%
Jewish: 1%
Muslim: 1%
Other: 1%

In my other nation, OHMYGODITHURTS, religion is banned. The only worship allowed is that of the Almighty Dollar, and those who do not pursue this end with their utmost are killed as Communists and traitors. We successfully whiped out the indigenous population and their particular brand of religion with such grim efficiency that nobody even remembers the name or the tenets. There are resistance groups, but don't worry, we're whiping them out as well. So, the rundown is a little like this:

Atheist/Agnostic: This Message Has Been Censored By The Grand Exalted Leaders
Christian (Protestant): This Message Has Been Censored By The Grand Exalted Leaders
Christian (Catholic): This Message Has Been Censored By The Grand Exalted Leaders
Jewish: This Message Has Been Censored By The Grand Exalted Leaders
Muslim: This Message Has Been Censored By The Grand Exalted Leaders
Indigenous Religions: Totally pwned!... By The Grand Exalted Leaders

Well, there is no state religion here (separation of church and state); however, there are several in existence. Probably the most-followed, but least-known, is Tashikiism, which is a monotheistic religion centred on the worship of the sun god, Tashki. The sun is held to be the embodiment of this almighty deity, whose form cannot be comprehended by mere men, and who is responsible for all within the world. Prior to the "Anglicisation" of the islands, the predominant method of greeting one's friends and allies was "Light upon thee," with "go with the light" or a similar term analogous to "goodbye," for instance. Tashkiism is practiced by the Order of the Heavenly Orb, and the main symbol of the religion is, unsurprisingly, a representation of the sun in the form of a golden disc, emitting light upon all around it; thus, one can tell Tashki temples from quite some distance, since their towers are always capped by a giant, hollow, gold-plated sphere. Tashkiism is, however, rarely seen in the cities, mainly due to planning permission issues and entrenched opposition to its expansion within government.

Other present religions include Christianity (RC, C of E and Orthodox Russian for the most part, without with some fundamentalist groups), Islam (mainly Shia), Sikhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

Freedom of Religion, but more than 45% of the population are Neo-Muslims, which has changed from 25%.

Freedom of religion is guaranteed under the 1985 Constitution.

90%- Christian (Mainly Dutch Reformed Church, Anglican, Roman Catholic, other Protestant)
4% Indigenous
2%- Muslim
3%- Hindu
1% Other

Freedom of Religion:
52% Catholic
21% Protestant
15% Jewish
10% Islam
2% Others

Officially atheist, though unofficially, there is a large Catholic following with a touch of Buddhism, Taoism, Wiccism and Satanism. Any other form of Christianity, outside of Orthodox, which is not practiced, gets a person stripped of their rights in Kryozerkia. These people are then sent into exile. If they do not comply with government orders, they are summarily executed. (I made a thread about this a long time ago... Read this for more information (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=377474))

officially catholic with a minority of other christian, naturalists and some damm hippies.

But of course, the citizens are always free to choose their religion.

The Religious Commonwealth of Jagada permits Freedom of Religion, to an extent. The following are "State Religions" meaning at least 5% of the population follow this religion, thus it is regonized and protected by the State:

1.) Christianity (includes all branches)- 56%
2.) Bhuddism- 28%
3.) Islam- 16%

Other religions are permitted, but are not protected by the various laws which ensure "State Religions" are not assaulted. Having no religion is also acceptable, however is low due to continued terrorist attacks by the SAG (Society Against God).

Although Radicals are promptly imprisoned, this includes the radicals of 'State Religions'.

Athiest- 30%
The Nine Divines- 50%
Assorted others- 20%

My country's dominant religion is Hinduism. Second highest to lowest: Islam, Chirstianity, Buddism, Atheists, and other minority religions unheard of.

My Nation's religion is christianity, founded on Christian Principles. I've only had to address one issue so we'll see how the rest goes. God is the one and true God and rules supreme.

Tashki will destroy you! :P

no organised religion... only individual or shared beliefs

Freudian Orthodoxy:

Similar to Christianity, except Jesus was more bad-ass, like Rambo, and God was more like his cooler, Old-Testament vengeful self. (You know, fire and brimstone as opposed to peace and love.) The Holy Ghost? Pretty much the same inspirational force.

Priests: Not celibate by any stretch. Much like Buddhist monks, a priest can leave the Holy Order at any time. They spend seventy percent of their time meditating and the rest teaching the wisdom they have learned.

You misspelled 'Christianity.' If it weren't for the fact that I'm a nice guy, I would tear your lazy heart out, you disrespectful creature. Change it! Change it now, before God smites you with His Holy Wrath, or I smite you with my less-than-holy wrath.

Religion will be ABOLISHED.

The government is secular, and there is freedom of religion in Halberdgardia for all. Christianity is the predominant belief (mostly Roman Catholics, but some Protestants), followed up by Judaism as a somewhat distant second, and Islam in third closely behind it, then a whole host of other, lesser-known beliefs.

From the Halberdgardia Factbook:

Major Religions: Roman Catholicism (76.5%), Protestantism (13.2%), Judaism (6.3%), Muslim (4%)

Religion is discouraged but not illegal. Money is a better motivator than moralistic preaching.

Update to my previous post:

Atheist/Agnostic: 62%
Christianity (All): 18%
Buddislamic: 13%
QUETZAL Cults: 2%
Other: 5%

The government of Ximea is totally secular. The people are mostly atheists. Most of the rest are Buddhists, although there are also Christian and pagan groups.

The Lobisonian Confederacy grants freedom of cult to its citizens, meaning anyone can have any religion they want to, or not have a religion at all, if that's their choice.
The main religion is Kerrmahck or 'Gaianism' (the rough english translation), which is a local, pagan religion that believes in a universal force of nature that is present in all natural phenomena (the earth, the wind, the rain, etc.). This religion also shares some buddhist and/or shamanistic beliefs such as totem animals, astral travelling and meditation.
Other pagan cults are also very popular among the country, while Christianity and Buddhism are also influential, yet minor religions.

The State religion of Dostanuot Loj is that of ancient Sumer.
However, Christians, Muslims, and people of all sorts of other religions nd non-religions are present, and treated as equal humans within the nation.
Taino Spiritualism also has a large following.

Mationland is a staunchly Christian nation . Except for a minority muslims and buddists .

Well, that does it. I'm officially converted.

I want in, too!

Freedom of religion is the official stance of the Brandouneian Government, however hard-nosed, obnoxious atheism is encouraged, as the government does not fund nor give tax breaks to any religion. In fact, churches that get too large and/or too wealthy pay US so that we don't crush them like the bugs they are. Creflo Dollar wouldn't last a day in Brandouneia.

If you were to ask a Ckhrek about religion, he or she would pause for a moment.

"Religion? What is that?" he or she would ask inquisitively.
"Well, it is the belief in a devine force." you would reply.
"Devine? What do you mean "devine?" the Ckhrek would ask.
"A force that shaped the universe." you would reply.
"Ah! So you mean the universe itself?"
"No, I mean a god."
"Oh...I see...you mean the force that created everything. The one thing that brought the sands and the winds and the suns. The thing that brought life to all corners of the galaxy. You mean that?"
"Yes! What do you believe in?"
"Out there."
"What?"
"Out there."
"What does that mean?"
"Out there. The universe. We believe in that."
"But what made the universe?"
"Who knows? Who has the audacity to answer that question?"
"But don't you want to know?"
"Why? We discover many secrets through our thoughts, but many still elude us. You must make sure to accept what you do know, and allow the unknown to not consume you."
"So...you believe in..."
"Out there. For the secret of creation is out there, somewhere."

Or, something around those lines.

The Bibistani government doesn't endorse or discourage any religion; we have a free market even in religious matters. Believe in what you want and even take tithe money from your believers - it's your business, and business is life; profit is lifeblood.

Opposition members say that our religion is "Consumerism" but our media (wholly-owned by various corporations) simply ignore these archaic commie loons.

100% Rite Immenian

Jenrak is a major theocratic country, dedicated to the ancient laws foretold and given to them by their father empire, the Ascheran empire of Enkur and Arskzen. This religion, a mix of both fanatical warmongering zealotry and suppressive pessimism, is the main staple behind Jenrak's military strength, and its relatively unoppressed peoples, as once thought.

Like a preordered set of commandments, there are a set of goals that seem to be the way to reach attained enlightenment. However, to ensure neverending faith to the Immenian words, they are contradictive ot each other, making it impossible to achieve enlightenment, and therefore, break off from it's goal.

Rite 1 - There is no true revenge; only actions
"With everything that seeks blue, all that seeps green, shall be a fire for that blue, and a red for that green. Everything is in a balance of the opposites, and nothing can be tipped in favor. For every action that approaches, a reaction takes place. To conquer the Rite is to see what reaction takes place, and see if that reaction is what your action is claimed to be."

Rite 2 - You may seek justice, but that is never enough
"Believing something safe is foolhardy, and diligence is the road to erosion. Discipline is not diligence, yet discipline is strength. Conquer this rite by knowing what Justices are made, and what justices deserve but have not been seen. Doing more justice than harm is harm itself."

Rite 3 - Life is unto a curse; break that curse by embracing it
"Death is the end of a step for life, as life is a long walk down the path of solace. Believe in an emptiness in life, and you shall believe in emptiness in yourself. To break this rite, make due of what is your life, and relieve the pain of others."

Rite 4 - Fanaticism does not exist; only faith
"Faith is a never-ending peace, a strip of power that is beheld in all beings. A heretic is less than dead, and a rebel is a heretic beyond salvation. Become faithful, and devout your faith by becoming a life, and eliminating the lives of heretics and rebels. Only then can your faith be acknowledged for the strength it is."

Rite 5 - A mass is mass, despite the composition
"People gather, leaves gather, water gathers, and that is all the gathering masses of the universe. Masses are inherent, unstable, and so forth that all masses beyond the stability are incapable of being sustained. Destroy an unstable mass to break this rite."

Rite 6 - There is no god; only an illusion of order
"God does not exist, only his will. One's will is strong, and the will of god, even if not the being itself, exists within power. Break this rite, draw strength from yourself and break your god's will."

Rite 7 - Death is a calling, not a phase
Death is not a phase that one must travel, but a segment to another life, another being and meaningless existence. Break this rite at your deathbed, by cursing your previous life. Only then could you forge your own next life, and become greater than before.

Kaledan is a Muslim nation, but guess what? We are like the Ottomans under Sulieman the Magnificent, and Christians, Jews, and Muslims all get along very well. We have full equality under the law for everyone, no matter thier religion, and we have developed a society where people are respected for the divine that is in each person. It is a paradise of love and happiness, and beware the infidel that invades our borders!

The citizens of United Orange Chicken have a general improving concensus on Philosophy, and scientifically proven believes with a foundation of Pentacostal Christian.

The people of this socialist region are encouraged to find a faith that fits them as well as supports the ideas of equality. The entire population is taught about most religions in youth and most tend to settle on the ancient religions. Various forms of paganism predominate mostly split between Wicca and Druidism

The Kvearen people follow the Way of the Sacred Cow, A worship of the chocolate cow, the basis of their economy and daily life. Any found to be following differing religions will be repeatedly smacked against a wall with the picture of the sacred cow indenting it, so it will embed its' self in their forhead, as shown ( :headbang: ). Like the Sacred, cow, they will wake early, to graze. They may not work for over 2 hours, every day, as the Sacred Cow does no work. They must sleep standing, or "crouched" on all fours. All male Kvearans are required to chew their own cud, as a coming of age ceremony. This is the Way of the Sacred Cow. Follow it.

The nation of Jankia use the religion of Jakan. There are 6 gods in Jakanian

Junia, The great god
Lowicus, The god of humans
Axufer, The god of technology
Naturous, The god of animals
Harunus, The god of karma
Killius, The god of evil
Depis, The god of war

Worshippers of Killius, the Jankian Satan, are called Death-Callers, because Jakanian worshippers beleive that worshipping him will call Killius up and he will suck the life out of them, causing them to be in a lightless, sharp, painfull world forever. This world is called Kellu.

in Jakan, if you have been good and have done good deeds throughout your life, you will be rewarded a painless, beautiful world with whatever you desire nd will meet other people that have been accepted into this world too. This world is called Jillijus.

Gorkon has no official religion, and only a fraction of people (1%>) follow any of the faiths recognised today. It is hard for a people who live in a nation subdued by eternal darkness and plagued by the problems we have to have any blind faith in a kind and gentle deity.

Due to its heritage as the successor to the Bari Empire, the Republic of Lanquassia mostly follows The Church of Humanity Unchained.

However, when John Blake formed the Republic, he wrote into the consitution the seperation of Church and State, that no Churchman may hold an elected position while holding an office n the church, that the Republic cannot censure or promote any religion, and the Church cannot actively campaign for a position.

Former church officials, however, can run for office, and current church officials can speak at political functions.

However, since the Empire fell due to religious conflicts, the church has learned its lesson and church officials, even local priests, havn't even spoken at political functions.

((*Church of Humanity Unchained is taken from Honor Harrington. Note, this is the Grayson version of the church.))

Hakurabi (FT) (Crystalline) is Scientist-Run.

Effectively, whilst there is no religion as per se, Scientists of all sorts are considerably weighted towards when priorities are decided at the tri-revolution (yes, it's every three days) bookkeeping. From there, scientific teams attempt to justify their current projects in order to recieve the most attention during that cycle, though all projects of at least some merit do recieve government attention. For example, collation and archiving of dated materials would be given a moderate priority, a lead on higher speed FTL communications would be given a somewhat higher priority, but a project to develop a gold plated toilet would not be aided at all.

As the system is largely controlled by Scientific Figures, it has become a sort of religion, with the youth aspiring to become a member of the Scientific Elite.

Although my country is in a Christian region and the main religion is christian, all other religions are allowed. Hence, you can't force people to be this or that. That's their own choice.

Our nation, while the Communist Party does not promote one religion over another, is still 90% Muslim, 8% Christian, 1.5% Buddhist and 0.5% Hindu, but we look to stamp out Hinduism within 5 years as it is inherently reactionary.

Ancestor Worship is pretty big in Camel Eaters. It also follows along with Camel Eaters Catholicism........which greatly resembles pre-conquest Irish Catholicism.

You made an insult to my religion. What did the Hindus do to you, except the radical Hinduism. Hindus are patient and open people unlike the monotheist religion who are closed minded and think they are superior, so that's why their are such things as holy wars. Dam Christians, Muslims, and Jews.

The people of the Empire of Sonaj are monoteists: they worship only one god: Sonajara [son-a-HAR-a]

Sonajara is sexless, neither male or female, and the messia (in lack of a better word) is the Emperor, who was chosen by the god itself to lead it´s people to the end of eternity.

As Sonajara, and the Emperor, are beings of extreme brutality and violence, the sign of Sonajism is the skull:

Our national religion is the older worship of God (As taught by Jesus), mixed with that "new fangled" Catholic stuff. We have a smattering of Jews, Muslims, and Protestants/Anglicans. No atheists that we're aware of, and no Bhuddists/Wiccans/ anything that doesn't worship some version of God. Not that we make them unwelcome, but they often feel left out because the vast majority of people (Including the ruler) are devout Christians of some sort. And what with public religious holidays and observations, they often find that our nation really isn't their cup of tea.

We are roughly 1/2 Islamic, 1/3 Hindu, and the rest are penguins, who belong to their own evil cult

The "official" religion of The Holy Imperial Republic is that of Roman Catholicism, however, Eastern Orthodoxy has also gained a major acceptance, and Freedom of Religion is practiced in Nueve Italia

Freedom of Religion is practiced in New Dornalia. 65% worship the Patriotic Church, a deified version of Communism that embraces the ideal that there is an all powerful People's Will flowing throughout existence, and that it manifests itself in the form of "Heroes of the People;" famous Communist heroes like Mao, Che, Lenin, etc. Stalin is seen as a Satan figure in this faith, as is Pol Pot.

20% practice Christianity. Predominate forms are Baptist, Catholicism, Mormonism, and Abhuman Evangelist (a form of Christianity practiced by Abhumans, like "Necker" catgirls and Elves). 10% are Jewish, 3% are Muslim, 2% are other religions.

The Dovakhanese Government is avowedly non-religious and is a proponet of liberty of belief, but in their grand census, they asked people about their religion:

30% Deism
20% Judaism
20% Kardakhianism (Ancient Dovakhanese Religion)
10% Taoism
5% Islam
4% Atheist
(There is a TINY minority of Zoroastrian and others)

A little on Kardakhianism:

There is one supreme deity in Kardakhianism, that is Kardakh, who has many avatars (Such as Dovakia/Apolista, the avatar from which Dovakhan gets its name. These avatars come in the form of animals, plants, humans, and divine creatures (like angels). The leader of the Kardakhian is the Matriarch, who lives in Apolistiana. Evil is considered the product of Kardakh-given free will, plus a weak side of humans. Evil people cease to exist, while essentially good people (Kardakhians believe nearly everyone is essentially good) people are reborn (there is a kharma system in Kardakhianism called the Ish, which also contains aspects of dharma and tao). Khardakhianism is an elastic religion, accepting other religions' gods as 'avatars' or Kardakh. Most clergy in Kardakhianism are women.

Wingull has no state-sponsored religion. People of Wingull are free to practise or not practise whatever religion they please without being forced.

I am not sure what they call it -- I know that they have such things as a 'god of war' called Balthazar and suchlike, all portrayed as humans. They do not discuss them around Charr, though. I am not certain how something in the shape of a Baldy can have divine powers, but that is what they believe."
