Rumahoki has been a {{wp|secular state}} since 1996 with the promulgation of its constitution. As part of the government's efforts to attain assurances of non-intervention from the [[Catholic Church]], the [[Concordat of 1996]] was signed between the Church and the [[Council of the National Revolution]] which detailed the exact relationship between both entities. It superseded the [[Concordat of 1976]], itself a reaffirmation of the [[Concordat of 1948]], which had given the Catholic Church a wide array of privileges ranging from censorship of blasphemous materials to clerical exemption from military service while granting the prime minister, which at that time was [[Fernando Pascual]], the privilege of appointing clerical figures; the Pope at the time of the enactment of the Concordat of 1948 issued an encyclical which celebrated the 450th anniversary of the arrival of Mauricio Delepas and the establishment of the Viceroyalty of Los Rumas. The Concordat of 1996, on the other hand, established the Catholic Church and the Rumahokian government as two separate and yet equal entities that may not interfere in the affairs of one another while at the same time reaffirming that the Church would still be represented in the Congress of the Peerage. | |||
The concordat also established the [[twelve permil]] law in which Rumahokian taxpayers are obligated to devolve 12‰ (1.2%) from their {{wp|tax}} returns to an organised religion that has been officially recognised by the state, or to a state-run social welfare programme. According to statistics from 2032, 64.8% of the population had made a choice from amongst the recognised religions. This tax law has had the unintended effect of funding minority congregations which would not have had such a boost in funding through regular donations from their adherents. As of 2035, the current religious denominations that the Rumahokian taxpayer may choose from are as follows: | |||
* [[Catholic Church in Rumahoki|Levantine Rite]] | |||
* [[Caphiric Church|Caphiric Rite]] | |||
* [[Coscivian Catholic Church|Coscivian Rite]] | |||
* [[Mercantile Reform Protestant|Mercantile Reform]] | |||
* [[Marian Kapuhenasa]] | |||
* [[Ecclesiastical Assembly of Sarpedon|Assemblist]] | |||
* [[College of Levantine Churches|Collegiate]] | |||
* [[Vallejarian Church|Vallejarian]] | |||
* {{wp|Judaism}} | |||
* [[Qustanti Islam]] | |||
The only extant religion in Rumahoki that has not requested recognition from the government is the [[Delepasian National Church]] which since the Velvet Revolution has refused to communicate with the government, believing that doing so would validate what they deem to be an anti-clerical socialist regime. | |||
