History of Astronism in Chile[]
As of December 2020, Astronism is not recognised as a religion by the government of Chile, however, religious freedoms in the country are generally practiced which provides confidence to the Astronist Institution that the rights of Astronists to profess their faith publicly will be respected.
A principal issue for Chilean Astronists is the current lack of accurate translations of Astronist content into Spanish. The current Astronist population in Chile is unknown, however, estimates have been placed at 2,748 as of 2020.
