Culture of Asteria: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

=== Religion ===

Differences of faith are one of the largest dividing points in Asteria. As a nation founded primarily by Protestants fleeing Levantia, the northern counties hold a view that Asteria is inherently a Protestant nation. However, 15.7% of Asterians belong to the [[Catholic Church]], largely centered around the [[Lower Counties]], where they form a majority. Social discrimination was common, especially during the colonial period under Faneria. The region around Yarmouth was especially impacted under West Asteria, with raids, burning of churches, workplaces refusing to hire Catholics, and other forms of discrimination. Asteria's religious division is also closely linked with racial and ethnic divisions, with the Ænglish largely being part of the Asterian Chantry, and the Gaelic and other groups being predominantly Catholic.

Differences of faith are one of the largest dividing points in Asteria. As a nation founded primarily by Protestants fleeing Levantia, the northern counties hold a view that Asteria is inherently a Protestant nation. The [[Episcopal Church of Asteria]] is the largest Christian denomination in Asteria, which is a particular church within the [[Chantry of Alstin]]. Originally, the [[Ænglish Rite]] was the largest denomination, and was nearly identical to the Chantry, but its founder, [[John Harrison]], disagreed with [[Alstanus Ryefield]] declaring himself ruler of Alstin. The 1827 [[Council of Milsboro]] ended the Ænglish Rite and established the Episcopal Church. Approximately 65.2% of Asterians belong to the Episcopal Church and other independent Chantric denominations. The Ænglish traditions of the Chantry are dominant in Asteria's culture, with the organization of the Episcopalians lending itself to the self-governing counties, cities, and towns of Asteria.

However, 20.7% of Asterians belong to the [[Catholic Church]], largely centered around the [[Lower Counties]], where they form a majority.
