History of Astronism in Dominica[]
Astronism is currently not recognised as a religion in the Commonwealth of Dominica but despite this, the Astronist Institution has little concern regarding the religious liberties of Astronists in the country. Astronists are generally considered to be free to express their faith publicly.
The official language in Dominica is English which presents an opportunity for all Dominicans to access the full array of Astronist content that is currently being principally written in English.
In December 2020, the Astronist Institution estimated that there was a total of 61 Astronists in Dominica.
