=== Closing comments ===
(To be filled out by closing administrator)
===Background===
The religion entry in infoboxes has been a contentious issue for many years, with multiple participants disputing what, if anything, should come after the "Religion = " entry. Previous discussions and RfCs have made it abundantly clear that only actual religions should be listed, never anything that is a non-religion.
A [[Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion|previous RfC]] determined that there is a clear consensus for removing the religion parameter for individuals (living, deceased, and fictional), groups, schools, institutions, and political parties hat have no religion, but that RfC was determined by the closing administrator to not apply to nations. A [[Template talk:Infobox country/Archive 11|follow-up RfC]] determined that the convensus was the same for nations, states, etc.
Despite the previous RfCs, we still have a problem with editors edit warring to keep various nonreligions in the religion entry, arguing that their favorite page is somehow hot covered. This [[WP:RfC|RfC]] is an attempt to create a bright line answer concerning exactly what the [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] is concerning the religion entry for nation infoboxes.
===What this RfC is and is not===
This RfC only applies to infoboxes, not to the body of the article.
This RfC only applies to the religion field of the infobox.
This RfC does not address whether the religion parameter should be changed to something else or omitted entirely from the template.
This RfC does not address the existing strong consensus that religion in the infobox must be relevant (per the template guideline), supported by reliable sources, and covered in the body of the article.
