History of Astronism in Belarus[]
Astronism exists only in censored digital form in Belarus as the government does not currently recognise Astronism as a religion. The protection of Astronists to practice their religion in Belarus is of concern for the Astronist Institution as the country has been labelled as censorious on the scale of the Astronist freedom of religion.
The Omnidoxy has not yet been officially translated into Belarusian and so only the access to Astronist materials for Belarusians are the digital presence of Cometan and the publisher, Astronism.org.
