[[Freedom of religion]] in [[Croatia]] is a right defined by the [[Croatian Constitution|Constitution]], which also defines all religious communities as equal in front of the law and separated from the state. Principle of separation of church and state is enshrined in Article 41 which states:

<blockquote>All religious communities shall be equal before the law and clearly separated from the state. Religious communities shall be free, in compliance with law, to publicly conduct religious services, open schools, academies or other institutions, and welfare and charitable organizations and to manage them, and they shall enjoy the protection and assistance of the state in their activities.</blockquote>

Public schools allow religious teaching ({{langx|hr|Vjeronauk}}) in cooperation with religious communities having agreements with the state, but attendance is not mandated. Religion classes are organized widely in public elementary and secondary schools.

The public holidays also include religious festivals of: [[Epiphany (holiday)|Epiphany]], [[Easter Monday]], [[Corpus Christi Day]], [[Assumption Day]], [[All Saints' Day]], [[Christmas]], and [[Boxing Day]]. The primary holidays are based on the Catholic liturgical year, but other believers are allowed to celebrate other major religious holidays as well.

The [[Roman Catholic Church in Croatia]] receives state financial support and other benefits established in [[concordat]]s between the Government and the Vatican. In an effort to further define their rights and privileges within a legal framework, the government has additional agreements with other 14 religious communities: [[Serbian Orthodox Church]] (SPC), [[Islamic Community of Croatia]], [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical Church]], [[Reformed Christian Church in Croatia]], [[Protestant Reformed Christian Church in Croatia]], [[Pentecostal Church]], [[Union of Pentecostal Churches of Christ]], [[Christian Adventist Church]], [[Baptist Union of Croatia|Union of Baptist Churches]], [[Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee)|Church of God]], [[Church of Christ]], [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Reformed Movement of Seventh-day Adventists]], [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church]], [[Macedonian Orthodox Church]] and Croatian [[Old Catholic Church]].
