History of Astronism in Denmark[]
As of December 2020, Astronism is not recognised as a religion in Denmark although, due to Denmark's practice of religious freedom laws, Astronists are considered completely free to practice their faith, both privately and publicly.
Little to no Astronist content has been translated into Danish which poses a significant barrier to the accessibility of Danish Astronists to accurately translated content. This not only inhibit Danes to access Astronism, but is also expected to hinder the amount of Danes who may be interested in becoming Astronists.
The Astronist Institution reported in December 2020 that there were approximately 6,858 Astronists in Denmark.
