Suderavians are predominantly Christian, though among the Coscivian population many maintain Læstorian, Rurican, and Sarostivist traditions as a “background religion” of sorts.

The | Suderavia is important in the history of the Insular Apostolic Church, as it became a safe haven for Gaelian dissenters fleeing persecution in the aftermath of the [[Crusades#Tonsure_Wars|Tonsure Wars]]. While most of the Pilgrims of the Kilikas - as they are called in the Insular tradition - only made port in Suderavia before making the long and dangerous crossing to [[Ilánova]], some put down permanent roots on the peninsula, establishing monasteries on remote promontories where they would conserve their suppressed rites and minister to nearby lay populations. The province is home to over a dozen Insular Apostolic shrines dedicated to saints who carried out their vocations there, most of them Kilikas Pilgrims or later abbots. | ||
There is a strong {{wp|eremitic}} tradition in Suderavian spirituality that may date as far back as the Lunar Monotheism of the primitive Coscivians. The State Forest Service reckons that there are anywhere between twenty and forty hermits living in the mountains and woodlands of the Suderavian interior at any given time, whether Apostolic, Catholic, or even from the Abrigalast tradition. | |||
The Latin Rite Catholic population is made up mainly of [[Levantia|Levantine]] people. | |||
The Skithanawites are conclavist Catholic {{wp|sedevacantists}} with their own antipope. They have been in schism since before it was cool, since 1847 AD. | |||

Suderavia is home to a considerable population of [[Abrigalasts]], representing one of the largest and oldest Abrigalast communities in Ixnay. The Abrigalasts of Suderavia arrived fairly early in the history of their faith, having fled persecution in South Levantia and been welcomed by the Covine government of the time to cultivate its more marginal lands. Most Suderavian Abrigalasts do not respond to the Federal Census, but there are estimated to be about 5,000, with around 60% living in Abrigalast settlements, though figures for urban Abrigalasts are likely underreported. Although they are mainly of Levantine ancestry, Suderavian Abrigalasts have spoken Suderavian Coscivian as their native language for centuries. | Suderavia is home to a considerable population of [[Abrigalasts]], representing one of the largest and oldest Abrigalast communities in Ixnay.
