Ever since the introduction of Christianity to Esonice during the 17th century, many missionaries from places such as [[Tagmatium]] and [[Iverica]] came to Esonice trying to convert inhabitants. This left Esonice with a significant Christian minority of approximately 750,000 adherents, that make up 2.2% of the Esonian population. The majority Christian sect that is worshipped by the Esonian Christian minority is [[Tacolism|the Tacolic sect]]. Many individuals that identify themselves as Christian adherents are also migrants and non-Esonians, with the most significant being the Iberic communities of Esonice, specifically the Iverican community. Some Christian customs that were brought into Esonice by missionaries, migrants and Esonians converts, were partially adapted and secularised into Esonian society. Such as Valentine's Day that is thought of as similar to the [[Culture of Esonice#Celebrations|Sun and moon festival]], Christian-style marriage, and Christmas. | Ever since the introduction of Christianity to Esonice during the 17th century, many missionaries from places such as [[Tagmatium]] and [[Iverica]] came to Esonice trying to convert inhabitants.

Religion
WIP
According to the 2020 population census, 75.3% of Esonian citizens adhere to the indigenous Ari-kokai faith, otherwise known as Arikaism. About 21.5% of Esonians identify themselves as atheist or agnostic. It is often hard to find a precise percentage of Arikaist believers as it is decentralised faith with no holy book or religious figurehead. Arikaism is also closely interconnected with Esonice's cultural heritage, meaning that even though some Esonians identify as irreligious, they still may participate in many Arikai rituals, temple visits, celebrations, festivities as adherence to cultural traditions remains high. A significant Buddhist community also exists in Esonice, brought in by Huang merchants and migrants that came to Esonice throughout history and often influenced the culture of Esonice.
Ever since the introduction of Christianity to Esonice during the 17th century, many missionaries from places such as Tagmatium and Iverica came to Esonice trying to convert inhabitants. This left Esonice with a significant Christian minority of approximately 750,000 adherents, that make up 2.2% of the Esonian population. The majority Christian sect that is worshipped by the Esonian Christian minority is the Tacolic sect. Many individuals that identify themselves as Christian adherents are also migrants and non-Esonians, with the most significant being the Iberic communities of Esonice, specifically the Iverican community. Some Christian customs that were brought into Esonice by missionaries, migrants and Esonians converts, were partially adapted and secularised into Esonian society. Such as Valentine's Day that is thought of as similar to the Sun and moon festival, Christian-style marriage, and Christmas.

Other religions in Esonice include the Muslim faith, specifically the Ismaili Shia sect that makes up the majority of Muslim adherents in Alharu. The Muslim community in Esonice are primarily refugees that escaped persecution and systematic genocide from San Castellino, with little being ethnic Esonians. Only 2,850 out of the 40,000 existing Muslims identified themselves as ethnic Esonian Muslims in the 2020 population census. Only 32 mosques exist in Esonice.
