Astronism in Denmark refers to the presence of the Astronist religion in the Kingdom of Denmark.

Astro-Danish philosophy, or Danish Astronism, refers to the presence of Astronism in the Kingdom of Denmark under management and philosophical jurisdiction of The Institution of The Philosophy of Millettism for the Kingdom of Denmark, a national subsidiary for the worldwide Astronist Institution. 

The Institution of the Philosophy of Millettism for the Kingdom of Denmark oversees the construction and maintenance of observatories and planetariums throughout its jurisdiction. Denmark is split into five administrative regions and is set to hold one Grand Observatory in the capital city of Copenhagen. 

History of Astronism in Denmark

As of November 2019, Astronism is not recognised as a religion in Denmark although, due to Denmark's practice of religious freedom laws, Astronists are considered completely free to practice their faith, both privately and publicly. Little to no Astronist content has been translated into Danish which poses a significant barrier to the accessibility of Danish Astronists to accurately translated content. 

This not only inhibit Danes to access Astronism, but is also expected to hinder the amount of Danes who may be interested in becoming Astronists. The Astronist Institution reported in November 2019 that there were approximately 6,000 Astronists in Denmark.
