Papua New Guinea officially became Christian in accordance with the state constitution. According to the Post Courier, the decision was made by the National Executive Council. It is connected with the fact that the majority of citizens profess Christianity of various persuasions (more than twenty different denominations of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are registered here: Catholics, Lutherans, Seventh-day Adventists, etc.) - and the church in Papua New Guinea has a strong influence on society, providing 60% to 80% of the country's religious services. Поклонный крест. Папуа-Новая Гвинея “The influence of the Church over the years has led to a transformation of society and has actually replaced some cultural beliefs, while part of society has merged culture with religion,” the island nation’s prime minister, James Marpe, was quoted by the religious news portal Blagovest Info. Despite the fact that the preamble to the national constitution states that the state of Papua New Guinea is based on two main principles - cultural heritage and Christianity - people who pray differently and refer themselves to non-Christian religious associations are not in any way affected in their rights: for absolutely everyone residents of the country, they are equal. For this reason, a new amendment declaring Papua New Guinea Christian is unlikely to have any constitutional implications.
