Despite its reputation for cultural liberalism, Argévia is not significantly less religious than the rest of the Kiravian Federacy. This has contributed to the state's nickname ''Hekuvia Baldarê'' ("[[Caphiria]] on the [Æonara] Sound"), as Argévians somewhat resemble Caphirians in combining a strong religious identity with more liberal attitudes towards certain activities. Argévians do, nonetheless, tend to have a {{wp|universalism|universalistic}} and often {{wp|syncretism|syncretic}} approach to religion. The ''vìutiaskrálum'' ("independent congregation") and {{wp|emerging church movement|emerging church movements}} are strong and growing, especially in urban areas of the state.

Although the [[Rosary Belt]] that stretches across much of the West Coast does not extend into Argévia by most definitions, Catholicism is still the largest religion in the state, and there are several rural and micropolitan areas of Argévia that strongly resemble the Rosary Belt in terms of the role that orthodox Catholicism plays in everyday life.
