Religion
Drevstran is officialy a secular country, with no state religion. The freedom of worship is a constitutional right and the Constitutional Court take great care that it's untouched by governmental policies. However, the freedom of worship was already a "Guaranteed Right" under the Triple-Crown, as the royal family couldn't demand the convertion of their subjects to their religion, or declare a state religion.
Drevstran is historically a christian country, first through the spread of Alban Christianity through the Tervingian Empire, and then with Orthodox christianity becoming the religion of the Ludz in the 6th century AD. When the Lushyods migrated into the country, they divided themselves into two kingdoms. The Kingdom of the Drev adopted the Orthodoxy of its Slavic subjects, while the Lushyodorstag kept its shamanistic traditions but did not disturb the Alban monasteries in its territories, on the contrary allowing them to continue to collect donations and own lands for their survival and development. They also honored Alban hermits as living saints and many important Alban scholars found the patronage of the Lushyod court.
The 11th century was a period of religious troubles in the Drev river Valley. In the Lushyodorstag, Alban monks and Docetic preachers entered a bitter religious scholastic conflict while in the Kingdom of the Drev, the situation became critical as tensions between Iconoclasm and Iconodulists merged with the ongoing political crisis which led to the Ikonkivoyra.
During this century of turmoil, the old shamanistic beliefs of the Lushyods evolved, integrating many new ideas and aspects from christianity, developing the monotheistic cult of the Sky, which itself became associated with the Abrahamic God, which also led to the adoption of the Bible as a religious text. It's these shamans-turned-wandering preachers that would form the core of the Docetic Church. Docetism would slowly become the dominant religion in the Lushyodorstag and the Upper Drev during the next four centuries.
Under the Triple Crown, the Monarchy signed the Edict of Nagvarros in 1704, which granted unprecedented religious freedom by making it the duty of the King to protect all officialy recognized religions in his territories, that members of the royal family could freely change religion, that the monarch could not be required to be of a specific faith to rule, and finally that no crown institution could demand or force the convertion of any of its subjects. The Edict had many consequences, the most important of it was turning what would become Drevstran into a destination for many religious minorities fleeing persecutions.
