Verona has a mostly {{wp|Christian}} history, although there is a large {{wp|irreligious}} community within the state as well. The [[Caphiric Church|Catholic Church]] is the largest single denomination in the state, as Cartadania was a former constituency of Caphiria and is proximate to Urcea, the two largest countries on the planet, both of whom have a Catholic majority. With approximately 54% of the state identifying as Catholic and 32% identifying as irreligious, the remaining 14% constitute other religious groups from around the globe. | Verona has a mostly {{wp|Christian}} history, although there is a large {{wp|irreligious}} community within the state as well.

Though the separation of church and state is a very stark part of Cartadanian life, Verona's catholic past plays a large part in the customs of its government even today. This is evident in the state's numerous cities and counties named after Catholic saints, as well as buildings and streets. Nonetheless, Verona's active participation in religion is one of the lowest in the country. | Though the separation of church and state is a very stark part of Cartadanian life, Verona's catholic past plays a large part in the customs of its government even today.
