Country chapter updated 7 October 2021 · retrieved September 5, 2026. This chapter is more than two years old. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Family, community and society
Croatia’s independence marked the beginning of Catholic Reconquista with the Church and its numerous associations, with initiatives sponsored by the Church aimed at reversing the secular character of the state. At the level of national legislation and political practice, religious institutions systematically undermine the rights of women. For example, by representing discriminatory ideas in public discourse, by strengthening gender stereotypes and patriarchal “values” within religious education, and by infiltrating into the health education system and public health care. Women’s rights are exposed to intense economic and ideological pressure after years of attacks, including via threats to the right to have gender and sex education taught in schools, medically assisted insemination regulations, and LGBTI+ rights and marriage equality.
Catholic Catechism classes
Catholic Catechism classes are elective, and in theory, children of non-religious parents have the right to opt out of the classes. In practice however this is often not the case. There is no alternative to Catholic education during the first three years of elementary school, and (pursuant to the Accord on cooperation in the field of education and culture, mentioned above) Catholic education must be treated equally to all other subjects “especially in respect to schedule of classes” which effectively prevents schools from scheduling these classes at the same time as other options. …
Prejudice against minorities in the classroom
Catholic Catechism textbooks for elementary school use material from Pope John Paul II which imply that atheists were responsible for “Auschwitz”. These textbooks also contain instructions on how to talk with atheists and make them realize their mistakes.

Which Croatia findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for a partner still believes in Croatia. Our selection connects the 7 October 2021 chapter with partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Each quote is separate from our practical question. It identifies something to investigate, not a conclusion about your household.
The dominant influence of religion in public life undermines the right to equality and/or non-discrimination
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
Use of Conscientious Objection clauses resulting in the denial of lawful services to women and LGBTI+ people
The report identifies a service-access or equality issue. A formal option does not by itself establish that a particular person can use it in practice.
A question to verify: What provider, rule and practical barrier apply to the service or opportunity being considered?
Discriminatory prominence is given to religious bodies, traditions or leaders
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
There is systematic religious privilege
This finding is about institutional arrangements. It does not establish the beliefs of a resident, a relative or a specific official.
A question to verify: Which named institution is involved in this decision, and what current written rule should be checked?
What if my partner still believes and I do not?
For a partner still believes in Croatia, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Choose one household agreement that needs an explicit conversation. The two starting points below address partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Make the hidden agreements visible
Attendance, money, food, religious objects, family visits, intimacy and raising children may all carry assumptions that were never discussed. List the agreements that have changed and the ones that still work. A disagreement about a ritual may also involve belonging, identity or fear about the relationship’s future.
Protect consent on both sides
Neither partner should have to perform belief, accept unwanted religious activity or be mocked into changing a worldview. A workable conversation distinguishes a request, an invitation and a requirement. It also leaves room for a genuine no.

How did religious identity change in Croatia?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Croatia table shows 4.7% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 6.7% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 93.7% | 90.9% | -2.8 pp |
| Muslim | 1.5% | 1.4% | -0.1 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 4.7% | 6.7% | +2.0 pp |
| Buddhist | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Hindu | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | Less than 0.1% | 1.1% | Not calculated |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
