Gender equality and LGBTI+ rights
The Catholic Church exerts a strong influence over Lithuanian politics, culture and society. Catholic priests are involved in most social councils and committees that provide input on State policy relating to ethics, education, and even reproductive rights. The Bishops Conference takes part in policy debates and rallies against abortion, sex education and LGBTI+ rights, and is involved in designing national family planning policy.

The dominant influence of religion in public life undermines the right to equality and/or non-discrimination

How can I question a belief without feeling defective?
For shame and self-worth in Lithuania, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Turn a verdict about your worth into one specific question you can examine. The two starting points below address stigma, identity and the difference between privacy and hiding in shame. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Notice when an action becomes an identity verdict
Compare “I am reconsidering this rule” with “I am a bad person.” The first describes a process. The second closes the conversation before any evidence is considered. Try naming the actual action, its context and its effect on another person without adding a permanent label.
Choose where your story belongs
A public confession is not the only alternative to silence. Different people can receive different amounts of information. A trusted listener may need a broad outline, a qualified professional may need relevant detail and a casual acquaintance may need none.

How did religious identity change in Lithuania?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Lithuania table shows 6.8% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 7.1% 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 | 92.5% | 92.2% | -0.3 pp |
| Muslim | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 6.8% | 7.1% | +0.3 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 | 0.5% | 0.6% | +0.1 pp |
“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.
