Religion in Kandara is a complex reflection of the nation's violent and colonial history. The majority adhere to Shia Islam, a vestige of the area's domination by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Mosques, serve as centers not just for prayer, but also for education and social gatherings, especially in the interior. However, a significant minority practices [[Mercantile Reform Protestantism]], a faith introduced by the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonizers]]. Simple white clapboard churches, testaments to a bygone era of colonial dominance, stand as stark reminders of a troubled past, and stand in direct contrast to the massive and opulent mosques. While religious tolerance is generally practiced, tensions occasionally flare, particularly in competition for influence within the government or control of resource-rich areas. Almost 6% of the population are members of the [[Audonian_Christianity#Patriarchate_of_Marand|Patriarchate of Marand]] a uniquely [[Audonian Christianity|Audonian Christian sect]]. 13.8% practice animism or shamanism, especially in the northern areas where the Queendom of Santasi was strong.
