“Even though the referendum was invalidated, it provided us the opportunity to know the degree of secularism in today’s Romania and also the main opinions in the society about defending the moral values based on a belief in God and the 2,000-year history of the Romanian people,” said the Romanian Orthodox Church in a press release after the referendum.

As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world.
