Nature of the gods (if any): Barney is all-powerful and joyful and happy and stuff. Elmo and Bob the Builder are the lesser gods, his subordinates.
Morality: Barneyists should spread love, happiness, and cheer everywhere they go. They should also sacrifice chicken nuggets and Starbursts to Barney.
Nature of the Universe: The multiverse, and therefore every universe, was created by Barney to be a place of love and happiness. It didn't turn out that way.
Creation Myth: In the beginning, there was only Barney, Elmo, and Bob the Builder. Barney created the multiverse to be a place of love and happiness, but the creatures of the multiverse did evil. So Barney made a race called the Teletubbies to be his emissaries. This had no affect on anything.
Other information: Some Barneyists believe that Slenderman of the religion Slendermism is real and the anti-Barney; however, the Barneyble says nothing about this.

[Sanian Confederacy]

Prehistoric Equestrians came to develop the polytheistic belief that the Sun represented a warm, just and fair omnipotent and omniscient being during the day, and in direct contrast, the single moon of the planet was representative of a cool, somewhat more sinister omnipotent and omniscient being that viewed their dreams at night and calmed them. The two were said to be locked in eternal battle; explaining why the sun rose and set, and followed with the rise and fall of the moon. Each Equestrian family came to chose a side of the gods to support - that each Equestrian who passed on would have judgement passed upon them by their God, and reunited with their relatives within that faction as soldiers. This resulted in religion becoming a deeply personal matter, oft unspoken even among closest of friends given the state of war between the two Gods.

This view stayed the same as Equestrian society began scientific and philosophic studies, where two additional strong beliefs came to the table. The first was the view that the polytheistic view in question is acceptable, but that the Equestrians did not have to take a side in a conflict between two infinitely powerful figures, and pass on to a place where they are free of the conflict. The second was atheism, with the prominent view being that this perceived conflict between two gods was imaginary and reading far too much into the simple cycle of the passage of time. These views remained prominent in their existence up until Humanity arrived in Sania, and the complex philosophical and religious theories they bought with them began to wear away at their religion. A minority of Equestrians adopted a non-denominational form of Christianity, a roughly equal number retained their polytheistic faith; whereas the remainder adopted either atheistic, agnostic or the belief in Empiricism.
