History of Astronism in Cameroon[]
As of December 2020, the government in Cameroon does not recognise Astronism as a religion in the country and the Astronist Institution continues to designate the religious freedoms for Astronists in Cameroon as censorious.
The current number of Astronists in Cameroon is unknown due to the inability to accurately identify populations there. As of December 2020 Astronist content had not been fully translated into French which poses further restrictions of the extent to which Cameroonians can easily access information about Astronism.
