What does the Paraguay report establish about men leaving religion?
For men leaving religion in Paraguay, Rage 2 Rebuild selects “Family, community, society, religious courts and tribunals” from Humanists International’s chapter dated 7 October 2021. It describes national institutions or published conditions, not family reactions, emotions or access to an individual service. Check current facts before acting.
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, society, religious courts and tribunals
According to OpenDemocracy, “Paraguayan human rights activists are not surprised by the country’s leadership of the ultra-conservative agenda,” labelling it “a lab for anti-rights ideas.”
LGBTI+ rights
“There was no progress during the year in criminal complaints relating to attacks against LGBTI people during a 2019 Pride march in the city of Hernandarias. The municipality of Hernandarias had banned the march for being “contrary to public morality.” There was also no progress in the constitutional challenge presented by Amnesty International in October 2019 against this and another resolution declaring the city “pro-life and pro-family,” both decisions of the municipality of Hernandarias.”
The rights of women
According to SOMOSGAY, a local group fighting for LGBTI+ equality, the newly elected Minister for Education and Science pronounced himself to be against unconventional family units, particularly those run by single mothers.

How can a man rebuild identity and support after religion?
For men leaving religion in Paraguay, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Name a responsibility you still choose and a role you need to reconsider. The two starting points below address family roles, public identity and access to a listening relationship. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Separate responsibility from authority over others
Care, dependability and honesty can remain important when a religious role changes. They do not require deciding what another adult must believe. Consider where you want to be accountable and where an expectation to lead has become pressure to perform certainty.
Find a place where the conversation can be honest
A friendship based on an activity may be a useful beginning even if it is not the place for every part of your history. A peer group, personal conversation and qualified professional can offer different kinds of support. Ask what you need before expecting one connection to do everything.

How did religious identity change in Paraguay?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Paraguay table shows 0.5% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 4.2% 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 | 96.8% | 93.5% | -3.3 pp |
| Muslim | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 0.5% | 4.2% | +3.7 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 | 2.7% | 2.2% | -0.5 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.
