Pelaxia has a rich religious history, with [[~~Roman~~ Catholicism]] playing a predominant role for many centuries. Early Pelaxians, like their [[Cognati]] predecessors, adhered to Cognati paganism. However, with the gradual Christianization of the region, Roman Catholicism became the dominant faith.

Throughout much of its history, Pelaxia was deeply intertwined with Roman Catholicism, with the Church exerting significant influence over various aspects of society, including culture, education, and politics. However, since the 1960s, Pelaxia has experienced a significant secularization trend, mirroring developments in other European countries.

Line 471:

Today, Pelaxia is one of the least religious countries in the world, with only a minority of the population declaring religion to be an important part of their daily lives. While Roman Catholicism remains the largest religious affiliation in Pelaxia, the influence of the Church has waned considerably, particularly among younger generations. Despite the decline in religious observance, many expressions of popular religiosity still thrive in Pelaxia, often tied to local festivals and traditions. However, the number of parish priests has declined over the years, reflecting the broader trend of dwindling religious participation.

While Roman Catholicism continues to hold historical and cultural significance in Pelaxia, the country's religious landscape has evolved dramatically, reflecting broader societal changes and shifts towards secularism and pluralism. Pelaxia is a secular state: church and state were formally separated during the ~~First Portuguese Republic~~, and this was reiterated in the [[1966 Pelaxian Constitution]].

Pelaxia is a secular state: church and state were formally separated during the 1900s, and this was reiterated in the [[1966 Pelaxian Constitution]].

A bill passed in 2016 and intended to effectively make religious institutions in Pelaxia taxable by the government. This resolution was later found to be unconstitutional by the Federal Supreme Court in 2017.

The Federal Republic is based on the principle of laicism enforced by the 1880s laws and the 1967 Constitution that establishes a “semi-separated” church-state relation, where the state pays a fraction of the Catholic Church salaries still to this day.
