Hellenism, of course. Judaism is a prominent, but non-threatening minority. Christianity and Islam are strongly discouraged. We are very much in favor of the worship of the Olympian Gods. Hail Zeus!

Vitius officially recognizes two main religions. There is Christianity and Islam. Citizens are allowed to be atheists, but atheism is strongly discouraged. If a citizen worships a religion other then the two main religions, they will be killed or imprisoned.

Eudaimonism is our major belief system. It's not a religion, but is perhaps an atheistic equivalent to one. It's a philosophical and spiritual path that is nontheistic. This was the philosophical orientation of many of the original colonists of Meridiani Planum.

The second biggest religion-equivalent is closer to a true religion (i.e, a theistic worldview). It's the Esoteric Order of Cthulhu. There are very few members, and Cthulhu is arguably not a god, but a 6+ dimensional cosmic entity from beyond the confines of our current bubble universe, but there you go.

The official religion of Auoul is Christianity. For a branch of the Church to be considered Christian, it must agree with doctrine set forth by the Ministry of Religion. All that do not are deemed heresy which is punishable by death.

Protestant Denominations- 53%
The Church of Auoul- 37%
Catholicism (Roman, Greek or otherwise) - 8%
Orthodox- 2%

85% Zoroastrian, 5% Muslim, 3.5% Christian, 3% non-religious, 0.25% Jewish, and 3.25% other.

85% of the Christian population is Armenian Apostolic, 7.5% belong to the Assyrian Church of the East, 5% belong to the Chaldean Catholic Church, while the remaining 2.5% belong to either a number of Protestant denominations or the Catholic Church proper. By law, all Catholic Churches in Parthia, including the Chaldean Catholic Church, recognize the primacy of the Doomani Pope.

While the Muslim population of Parthia has declined significantly, the majority of Muslims in Parthia are Shia, while only 10% are Sunni. Parthia's Muslim population is considered an oppressed minority and has increased flight from the nation in recent years.

Zoroastrianism in Parthia is generally a monolithic structure, under the leadership of the Dastur of Persepolis. While it holds status of the official religion of Parthia, most other religions recieve full toleration.

The main religion, though I wouldn't stay State Religion, is Atheism, and while other religions are allowed to exist, they are highly taxed.

We're pseudo-shamanistic and worship the Turtle Lord. He's not the highest deity or the only deity in our pantheon, but without him life as we know it couldn't exist.

ZEMBROSE CREATION MYTH (super shortened version to spare you guys)

- There are billions of gods and goddesses, each one assigned to watch over and protect a star.
--- When a star disappears or is destroyed/goes nova, a god has died and demons have consumed their star.
- Amala the Verdant Mother is assigned to Earth's star.
--- Amala is shy and is picked on by the other gods and goddesses, she's younger.
--- When she arrives at the sun she stumbles and knocks it. Some chunks fly off.
- Amala begins to weep because she's afraid of what the other gods and goddesses will say to her since she failed her duties before even getting started.
--- A tear lands on the Earth, which is nothing but rock and waste knocked off of the sun. 3/4 of the land mass is flooded by her tears.
- Amala rushes to cover up the mess she created with her hands so that it wouldn't be seen.
--- Her touch causes the seeds of life to bloom in the vast ocean. Azuzem, the Great Turtle Lord, is born.
- Azuzem swims through the oceans spreading life. Trees and plants grow on his massive shell. Birds nest in their boughs.
--- Azuzem spreads life across the entire planet this way. Amala stops crying and is in awe.
- After he finishes, Azuzem swims out to sea and begins a long hibernation. Sediment and soil gather around him, forming the region of Ronduria.
--- Amala blesses Azuzem with immortality and tasks him with preserving life on her blue planet.
--- The other gods, jealous of Amala's accomplishments, shun her, leaving her to create new minor gods to support her planet.

Basically everything we live on is our god, so wastefulness and environmental harm actually hurt our god. We want to keep his blessing so we don't anger him. Both the land (the Turtle Lord) and the sea (Amala's tears) are sacred. Simple version of our faith.

[quote="Hoyteca";p="555947"]84% Zep. They believe that the Zeplands were originally occupied by Anpu and his band, which included Jesus somehow. Their heavy metal formed the basis of the faith, much like Christianity was based around Jesus's teachings, sacrifise, and resurrection or how Judaism was based off of Abraham doing something and Moses getting high, talking to a "burning" bush, and leading a group of possibly-high people into the desert for whatever reason. Not to sure what Islam is based off of. Something about some guy preaching peace in between conquering lands and stabbing people or something.

Um... Abraham was promised by God (or Yahweh in Hebrew) that he will have many descandents, Moses was told by Yahweh, who took the form of a burning bush, to go down to Egypt to free the Hebrews who were enslaved by the Pharohs' tyranny, he eventually led them out of Egypt and into the Sinai desert, which caused the Jews to get all whiny. As for Muhammed, he was recieved by an angel who told him to spread the word of Allah, even if it means killing people. After he died, his followers began spreading Islam, carving an Empire, and slicing people to pieces.

Siskra is the state religion of the Valdunate. It is a religion based on worshiping the spirits that control the workings of the world for their favor. The veneration of the glorious Valdun, successor to the divinely touched Valdun, is also a major component. 70%

Also present is the martial cult, Vishadra, which venerates the blood entity Vishad. it is the official cult of the armed forces of the Valdunate, and only relatively recently have non-cult members been given their own portion of the armed forces.(8%)

The only other recognized religion is Islam(20%), all other faiths considered treason against the Valdun for their failure to give him their respects.
