History of Astronism in Cape Verde[]
As of December 2020, the government in Cape Verde does not recognise Astronism as a religion in the country. Despite this, Astronists in Cape Verde are not feared to be under threat of religious persecution in the country and the Astronist Institution has labelled the state of religious freedom there as apathetic.
The number of Astronists in Cape Verde is not presently known, but they are expected to represent only a minute population. The language in Cape Verde is Portuguese which presents a further issue for Astronists in the country as few Astronist content has yet been accurately and officially translated into the language.
