This paper describes the general state of religious affairs in Taiwan (unrecognized
Republic of China). A brief overview of the history and current state of several major
religious denominations is given, in particular Buddhism, Daoism, Islam, Christianity,
Yiguandao, Chinese folk religion and aboriginal beliefs. The main features of state religious
regulation in different periods of Taiwan’s history are observed. Special attention is paid to
the religious legislation in the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the measures taken by the
state to improve it. In general, the spiritual environment in Taiwan is regarded to be rather
prosperous as a result of the strengthening of civil liberties and general democratization
of the political and social life of the island nation in the last 25 years. Taiwanese society
managed to get rid of the consequences of the totalitarian regime that had ruled the
religious sphere by strong repressive methods for 40 years.
