Religion
Teremara is religiously diverse in both religion and irreligion. Abrahamic, dharmic, native, and folk religions are prevalent. Government perspectives on religion vary; a good portion of Teremaran states guarantee religious freedom in varying degrees while others pursue theocratic or state-atheist policies.
The region’s faiths are further divided based on continent. Christianity is the dominant faith in Madurin, found primarily in the forms of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Terre des Gaules, a Teremaran superpower, was historically a confessional Roman Catholic state, and Roman Catholicism retains a majority of the religious population in southern Madurin. There also exists significant Eastern Orthodox minorities in Madurin, often coexisting with Catholics in the continent’s southern regions. Fay Christianity, a matriarchal denomination, is the largest religion in Espicuta. Lutheranism is the primary sect in Austrakia. Non-Christian faiths are the majority in Castellua, which follows Neo-Hellenism, and in Taranima.
Christianity is also strong in Tavlyria, although not to the same extent. Most of the continent’s north is majority Christian in the forms of Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism. Kimina is unique in the area as the only nation with a Christian majority, though there are a plurality of Christians in several other southern nations. Islam is dominant in south Tavlyria and acts as the state religion, de jure or de facto, of many states, including The Islamic Republic of South Gragastavia. Sunnis make up the overwhelming majority of the Muslim population in both Tavlyria and Madurin. Polatianism and Gespurna are two faiths practiced near-exclusively in Teremara, being the state religions in Skartok and Kirjogi, respectively.
The Middle Waters are dominated by Christianity, mainly from Asucki, the largest and most populated landmass between the continents. Judaism, Islam, and Zoroastrianism are other major faiths. Séaiil, though not commonly practiced in the modern day, is a pre-Christian religion influential to the cultures of the early Middle Waters. Séaiil’s influence is even present in Wishtonia, where a sect of the faith is the state religion of Vektrana.
Irreligion is fairly common, although this also depends partially on geographical area. South Madurin has large populations of agnostics and atheists. Deism is popular in Asucki and Falkasia.
List of countries
Teremara is a culturally diverse region of the world, comprised of over 25 nations and dozens more ethnic and religious groups.
