The title Defender of the Faith is a subsidiary title of the English and later British monarchs since it was granted on 11 October 1521 by Pope Leo X to King Henry VIII. The title was revoked by Pope Paul III after Henry's decision to break with Rome in 1530 and establish himself as head of the Church of England. The style was reintroduced after the restoration of the monarchy and remains in use to this day.
In the game Europa Universalis, the title can be lost by losing a war or when the ruler dies. It can also be lost by declining a call to arms from another country to defend your faith.

Lose a war
A republic can lose the title of "Defender of the Faith" by losing a war. This can be achieved by offering or accepting a white peace, or through a peace deal imposed by an enemy power. Losing the title of "Defender of the Faith" allows a republic to change its national religion, which may be desirable if the current state religion is at odds with that of the majority of its citizens.
In the context of the video game Europa Universalis IV, players have discussed strategies to lose the title of "Defender of the Faith" by intentionally losing wars. This can be done by getting 100% war score on a nation and then conceding defeat, or by offering an enemy power money or concessions to end the war. Players have also noted that declining a call to arms from an ally of a different religion will also result in the loss of the title.
It is worth noting that some players have reported bugs or inconsistencies with the mechanics of losing the title in the game, with some reporting that they did not lose the title even after losing a war.

Wait for your ruler to die
Waiting for your ruler to die is one way to lose the "Defender of the Faith" status. This is true for both monarchies and republics. However, it is important to note that this is not the only way, and there are other strategies that can be employed to lose this status.
For example, losing any war is another way to lose the "Defender of the Faith" title. This can be done by conceding defeat to another nation or surrendering early in a conflict. Additionally, declining a call to arms from an ally of the same faith can also result in the loss of the title.
In the case of a republic, the ruler dying may not be the most efficient method as there can be frequent elections. Instead, losing a war or declining a call to arms might be more feasible strategies to pursue.
It is worth noting that the "Defender of the Faith" status is typically associated with the defence of a particular religion, such as Catholicism or Protestantism, and the specific mechanics of gaining and losing this status may vary depending on the game or context in which it is being discussed.

Decline a call to arms
Declining a call to arms is one of the ways to lose the Defender of the Faith status in Europa Universalis IV. However, this method only works if it's a call to arms against a different religion. It might even be the case that it only works if it's the Defender of the Faith call to arms and not if you are allied and get a normal call to arms.
Other ways to lose the Defender of the Faith status include:
- Losing a war (any peace deal worse than a white peace should remove it).
- Waiting for your ruler to die (in a republic, this means waiting for elections).
- Ceding defeat to a scrub nation.
- Giving them a few ducats.

Some players suggest that you only lose the title if you are the primary defender and lose the war, or if you refuse a call to arms from a co-defender of your faith. Others suggest that losing any war at all will result in losing the title.
There are other ways to lose the title, such as waiting for your ruler to die, or waiting for another nation to take the title from you.
