Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea is mixed Christian as a country. The dominant religious context is: Strongly Christian (~96%) with significant traditional religious practice; growing Pentecostal and charismatic minority.

Papua New Guinea is religiously plural, and the deconstructions happening here range across denominations. Pick the pillar page that fits the specific tradition you came out of — Catholic, evangelical, Pentecostal, or Orthodox — rather than reading "Christianity" as a single category.

Leaving in Papua New Guinea carries real community cost in a way that the broader Western experience often does not capture. Family rupture is common. Local religious communities are often dense, and stepping out of one is closer to immigrating than to changing a hobby.
