History of Astronism in Bolivia[]
Astronism is not currently recognised as a religion in Bolivia, but because Bolivia has a positive track record regarding religious freedoms, the Astronist Institution has designated the country as apathetic. Generally, Astronists in Bolivia are considered to be free to practice their faith privately or publicly.
As of 2020, only a small amounts of Astronist content had been translated into Spanish from English which means that Bolivian Astronists may struggle to access more in-depth information regarding Astronism.
