===Religious settlements===
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 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 or Roman Catholic, though a smaller number of [[Insular Apostolic]], Muslim, {{wp|Eastern Orthodoxy|Cronan Orthodox}}, 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.
