Religion in Neutralston

Religion in Neutralston has been dominant in the country ever since the Gaelic colonies of the 1300s-1400s, and then made illegal in 1925 with the rise of the LFT government in power, however it got de-criminalised in the mid-to-late 70s with the rise of Kevin Murphy in power. The most dominant religion in the country is Roman Catholicism, followed by Russian-Orthodoxy and Greek-Orthodoxy.
Roman Catholicism (60%) 
Catholicism is the largest religion in Neutralston, with over 60% of the population identifying at Roman Catholic and half of them are devoted into their religion. The first catholic preachers touched Neutralstonese soil in 70 A.D in the ancient town of Valsariach, in modern-day South eastern Lavendershire, were the Arch-bishop of Neutralston is housed at the Cathedral of our lady of Fatima. True Catholic dominance however came in the year 500, after all Gaelic emperors were converted to Catholicism, which lead to Neutralston following pursuit.
Neutralston as a country is home to over 6,700 catholic churches as of 2015, however over 300 Catholic Churches were burnt during the LFT revolt in 1925. The biggest and the house of the Neutralstonese Catholic church is the Cathedral of our lady of Fatima, which Pope Francis called the 8th wonder of the world in a speech in 2018, alongside Neutralston's 15 other Catholic Cathedrals which are spread across the country.
Catholicism is the second fastest growing religion as of the 2020s, coming only second after to Islam, which is the least popular religion in the country, with a 3.6% increase from the start of the decade. There are around 20,00 Catholic priests in Neutralston in total and 7 of them, (two of them being the arch-bishop himself and the bishop) have Vatican city passports and citizenships.
Russian Orthodoxy (20%)
Russian Orthodoxy was first practiced in Neutralston in the 1800s after an influx of Russian and Ukrainian students moved to Neutralston to study at world-class universities in Neutralston. Up till 2022, most of the people who arrived from these countries have decided to remain in Neutralston and only 1.2% went back to their anectodical homeland, leaving seeds for a new generation of Orthodoxy on Neutralstonese soil. 20% of the Neutralstonese population identify as Russian-Orthodox, and the home of the Russian-Orthodox church in Neutralston is in the Benningtonshire town of Ozzington, just outside of Neutralston city, at the Cathedral of St. Alexander, one of five Russian-Orthodox Cathedrals and the largest monastery 
However, Russian Orthodoxy is the slowest growing religion, this is due to a low fertility rate within the Neutralstonese Orthodox community. Chruch attendance on sundays is at an all time low with only 62% of believers attending, a dramatic 20% decrease from 10 years ago. 
Greek Orthodoxy (5%)
Greek Orthodoxy makes up 5% of the Neutralstonese population. The religion first hit local shores in 900 A.D when preachers from Modern-day Thessaloniki sailed their ships to Modern-day Bennington. the Greek Orthodox sits in Foundaria reserve, this is because most Greek Orthodox believers are usually business owners, in fact, Foundaria has the largest Greek-Orthodox population at over 30% of the Reservation District identifying as Greek Orthodox, and second to Bennington, with 10% of the local population. It's a moderately growing region and the youth with a Greek Orthodox background have the option to study their religion at the private Greek Orthodox college in Market District, Neutralston City. 
Church of Scotland (3%)
The Church of Scotland was first sighted in Neutralston in 1843, after many Scottish people fled their homeland to Neutralston in fear of being forced to convert. Only 3% of the population identify as a Church of Scotland believer, this is because people in Neutralston don't have the option to convert to this religion, this was done as an effort by the People's Leader Alfred Carmichael to keep the Scots away from any other influence. The only cathedral and the house of the Church of Scotland in Neutralston is in Wakeman, a town 20 minutes away from Neutralston city. 
Sunni Islam (2%)
Islam is the most recent dominant religion in Neutralston. With the first Neutralstonese-muslims being recognised in census in the 1920s. The head Imam of Neutralston, Daleel Al-Foled sits at the Little Arabia Mosque in Neutralston City, and as of 2021, there are around 10 mosques nation-wide. Islam became dominant as migrants from Libya, Lebanon and Indonesia got work opportunities in Neutralston, carrying their faith with them. Fortunately, Islam doesn't seem to be ending in the country anytime soon, as it is the fastest growing religion in the country and sees to overtake the Curch of Scotland by the year 2034.
