Populace
Religions
Religious affiliation is not asked in a census, that's why only estimates exist.
It is estimated that 50% of the Mysh Island population are strigidists (25% of them traditionalists, 75% modernists), 42% atheists and 8% follow other religions.
The mountainous regions are strongholds of traditional strigidism, whereas the modern variant is stronger in the coastal and hilly provinces.
Atheists are more common in more urbanized provinces.
Other religions are more common in coastal provinces.
Fore more information about strigidist beliefs, see Strigidism.
