The religious wing of the Settlement Movement has risen and fallen in prominence over time, reflecting internal disagreements within the major Kiravian churches and the Christian political movement over the ethics of colonialism. The most recent wave of support for religiously-inspired Movement settlements began during the Crippling Depression and was buoyed by the domestic alter-modernist and anti-modernist back-to-the land movements in Kiravia advocating religious revival, agrarianism, localism, and communitarianism. The leading theorist behind the religious Settlement Movement was the Coscivian Orthodox writer [[List of Kiravian academics#Avvakuv Texavyrin|Avvakuv Texavyrin]], editor of the ''Kiravian Homestead Hebdomadary'', who argued that "overseas colonisation and agrarian, communitarian religious renewal are inseparable from one another, if for no other reason than that there is not nearly enough affordable arable land on [[Great Kirav|this island continent]] to allow for a large-scale escape from urban wage-slavery." Religious Movement settlements are usually associated with {{wp|distributist}} economics.

Most religious Movement settlements are Coscivian Orthodox (including Palæo-Orthodox 'Old Ritualists') or Catholic, though a smaller number of [[Insular Apostolic]], Muslim, [[Kiravian Sectarians#Examples|Enochite]], Reformed Orthodox, and Protestant settlements exist. There are a few settlements associated with Coscivian monotheistic religions, but these are more properly associated with either the Coscivianist-civilisational or Preservationist wings of the movement.
Coscivian Orthodox and Catholic religious Movement settlements, as well as the smaller number of [[Insular Apostolic]] and Protestant ones, generally consider themselves part of an evangelisation process seeking the conversion of Crona, whereas Palæo-Orthodox ('Old Ritualist'), [[Kiravian Sectarians#Examples|Enochite]], and [[Kiravian Sectarians|Sectarian]] religious Movement settlements are more self-isolating and preservationist in purpose.
 
Muslim Movement settlements exist.
 
Movement settlements associated with the Coscivian faith traditions (broadly 'Kirandism') merit discussion.
