Soon the group formed the Society of Indominous which drew in other survivors to convert them into followers of Indominous. Then in the year of 2018pa the society renamed itself to the Followers of Indominous and thus a holy war was waged upon the non-believers who then were made into Teranites a term that the Followers use to describe human slaves as no human is allowed to be a follower of Indominous. Followers called Raptors that are what the Priests are known as were sent across the lands to preach the words of the savior Indominous from the Holy Book of Indominous and convert those who listened. The followers of Indominous has grown to be the biggest religion in the post Awaeking world with over 1,500,000 million followers and growing.

[Aikoland]

Is Religion Legal? Yes

If no, why? N/A

If yes, please fill out the rest of the form
Did the religion originate in your NationState? Yes and no. Aikoland Catholicism originated in our own nation, although Roman Catholicism and Christianity, of course didn't.

What is the religion called? Aikoland Catholicism

How did the religion arrive in your NationState? OR How did the religion begin? Aikoland Catholicism originates during the 1940's with the establishment of Aikoland herself and split from the Roman Catholic Church officially in 1981. (In practice, we stopped listening to what the Pope had to say during the 1950's) You probably know how Roman Catholicism and Christianity originated.

Is it required for citizens to follow this religion? Yes.

Do a majority of your citizens follow this religion? Yes, 100% of the population officially follow Aikoland Catholicism. (Keep in mind, all other religions are banned)

Are there any interesting facts about this religion you'd like to share? If so, please share them. Despite being called and originally being just Catholicism, Aikoland Catholicism has practically nothing to do with Roman Catholicism, aside from revering Christ as our Lord and Savior. Also, due to Aikoland Catholicism being inherently intertwined with the government here (we're a theocracy and the rulers of our nation are also in charge of the Aikoland Catholic Church), it is just as much a religion that focuses on blind devotion and worship to the state itself, since Aikoland Catholicism and the Theocratic States of Aikoland are regarded as being one and the same.
