Talossa National Religion

[Mertgedes Perla Cucumatsch]

Azul everyone!
I am wondering if Talossa has a national religion and if yes if it has one in common with other countries or one on itsown

Talossa has no national religion.

[Sir C. M. Siervicül]

The King's official title used to state that he was head of the "Unorthodox Church," but that was removed several years ago.

I think pastafarianism would suit Talossa perfectly.
I'm not well informed, but can I start a religious movement?🤔

[Istefan Perþonest]

Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Talossa was officially atheist.

Then it for a while was officially King Ben's version of the Latter-Day Saints, with a law at one point implying all Talossans were, too.

Then the King was the head of the "Unorthodox Church", the word "Unorthodox" thrown into the OrgLaw by someone objecting to a bare assertion that the King was head of the Church.

Then we had the whole bit of history that resulted in John, a member of the Orthodox Church, becoming King, and the OrgLaw was amended to remove the reference to heading the Unorthodox Church.

I think that Talossa should maintain secularism, i.e. separation between church and state. The government shouldn't get involved in such matters.

Yes; the establishment of a state religion is prohibited by the Second Covenant of the Organic Law.

Cool.

Also, I'd like to point out that starting a religious movement runs a high risk of dividing Talossa between those who follow a cult and those commited to a government. I don't ever want to see that.

With that in mind, why don't we leave all religious matters alone?

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

There is no and will never be a national religion in Talossa.

We have had religious political parties and lay preachers in Talossa for many, many years. My opinion is that if someone wants to start a religion, heck, just go ahead. Plurality and freedom of speech! Activity is king.

I'm not really saying no. What I'm saying is that doing so could be bad.

I thought John was King? ;-)

Same idea! I always dreamt to become the first know female pope

[Artemis Brown]

Wiccan and Neo-Paganism has always gotten me interested in such a similar situation for Talossa.
