A plurality of Corummese citizens hold no religious views at all, the result of a decades-long campaign by the government to enforce a form of State Atheism. Starting in 1965 under President [[Chi Long Qua]], the campaign was dubbed the 'Patriotic Initiative against Superstitions' and its objective was to eliminate religion identifications that could undermine the power of the state.  Churches, mosques and shrines were shuttered, religious leaders arrested or sent into internal exile and all public displays of piety were outlawed. The suppression of religion was later enshrined in the Law of Superstitious Orders in 1971. This law was replaced with the Law of Religious Bodies in 2011 by the government of [[Linge Chen]], which allowed worship in government controlled environments.

The Christian faith is represented by the [[Democratic Christian Church of Corumm and the East]], the official body representing catholics in the country and not officially recognized by the Levantian Pope. Approximately 6% of the population adhere to this church. Islam is another faith of importance, especially in the western provinces which once belonged to [[Rusana]]. Approximately 10% of the population identify as muslims, mostly of the Shia school.
