Cosmicism In Your Nation

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

What's the status of Cosmicism in your nation? http://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_ ... k/id=90280
Cosmicism is the national religion of the Alliance, it is also the largest at 100% of the population.

[Urmanian]

Sounds like plain and simple agnosticism. We do have some agnostics, about 2-3% of the population or so label themselves as pure agnostic.

[Auzkhia]

Totally unheard of in Auzkhia.

We're not very religious, do our philosophies match with yours, we cannot say.

Agreed.

It doesn't sound like a "religion" at all. It's just agnosticism with a different name.

Also, how the hell do you get 100% of the population to be a single religion?! I've asked you this before, OP, and I've never gotten a solid answer.

[Eahland]

Didn't you just get warned about posting (Whatever Wikipedia Page You Happen To Have Open) In Your Nation threads?

We are quite sad that they seem to have fully changed from Harmonism that was the established religion for months in the span of a week or even less

Technically speaking, it's only officially, because of the actions of a few fanatical priests altering government records, it's actually split evenly half n half, 50% Cosmicist, 50% Harmonist, we haven't got aroud to officially change the records yet, or even getting aroud to sacrificing the offending priests (who also bombed a Harmonist temple) yet... we will soon though, next week at the latest.

On the plus side: no-ones allowed to insult the religious beliefs of others, under threat of death.

How remarkably restrictive of you. Death sentence for religious hate speech? Isn't that a little... uh, hypocritical?

[The United Colonies of Terra]

Not really known, however, since nearly anything is welcomed into the United Colonies, I Imagine Cosmicism would be here in some form. Though no offense it seems more like a philosophy than a religon, but that is merely my opinion.

Never said the government kills them. The people they insult do, either in a duel or by kidnapping them and sacrificing them to lifeforms greater than us.

[Allonia]

It's widespread, at 45% of the population, with Christianity, Islam, Judaeism, and Sikhism making up the rest.

[Cosmicist Ponies]

As our name suggests, it's widepread, at 80% of the population.

[LGBT Ponies]

It's at 10% of the population and growing, with Agnostics,Atheists,and Harmonists making up the rest.

[The Benevolent Sisters]

It's uncommon, only taken hold among the intelligentsia, including the Sisters themselves. As such, only 5% of the population are Cosmicists, the rest are Harmonists mostly, with the odd Atheist.

[Kedri]

No Cosmicists here but we do have an agnostic minority.

[Bajireyn]

^ This.

[Benomia]

All religions are banned, and practicing them are punishable by death.

[Tunasai]

Cosmicism is nearly non-existent within Tunasai. With 95% of the nation being Christian/Catholic it leaves little room for Cosmicism

[TurtleShroom]

It sounds like a secular humanist corruption of agnosticism centered around the absence of morality. Living life without a moral compass normally leads to living life in the stony lonesome.

Agnostics, however, freely exist in TurtleShroom, though they are in an extensive minority. (Theism/Deism is far more common amongst those who do not believe in Christianity.)

[Victorious Decepticons]

We've never heard of Cosmicism until now, so it has no followers here. However, we can report that it MAY at least not get banned. It doesn't proclaim a deity to be a greater authority than Megatron, and its lack of moral teaching ensures that, while it doesn't actively promote the Decepticon Way, it at least does not oppose it. Legally, the one possible catch is the part where it says that there are more powerful and more intelligent lifeforms out there. Unless they're talking about US being the stronger and smarter beings, there's going to be a problem.

Legal issues aside, we doubt that it will get any traction here. While many of its tenets are completely compatible with our existing beliefs, there is one that clashes in an irreconcilable way:

In regards to the Universe, Cosmicists believe that it is indifferent, and that there are truths out there that we were never meant to, or should ever, know.

No Decepticon would buy into that anti-intellectual rot. We believe that we are to eventually conquer the universe - not just its peoples or armies, but its secrets as well. To us, an unknown truth is just something we haven't yet thrown enough processing power at.

While some things may be deemed too inconsequential to bother to research at a particular time, we never shy away from knowledge itself or get any worries that we might actually regret knowing something. Every piece of confirmed knowledge represents more opportunity; it's just a matter of figuring out how to use it.

[Azurand]

Well, for our mighty, truthful eyes, your barbaric "faith" is just a creation of Atheists which are suddenly affected by mental disorders, so they go crazy around and, despite still refused the existence of deity and morality, started believe in occultation or such.

It's unheard of, and it'd be laughed by all of Azurandians if it ever existed in our nation. Such a ridiculous, godless, immoral so-called belief deserved nothing but fresh feces from fanatic people. We didn't sure whether it's real or not, so let's just say that there's none of Azurandians embraced "Cosmicism", and if there are any people intend to bring it into here, it's highly unlikely to be passed.

[Byzantium Imperium]

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck.

It's Agnosticism; which is relatively rare in the Roman Empire as we're a predominately religious people divided up between Roman Orthodox Christianity and Roman Pantheism. As with other minority groups however there are agnostics as well as there are atheists, Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc being that we're cosmopolitan and we respect freedom of/from religion.

[Dzordinia]

There are plenty of adherents to a similar set of ideas, although they don't call themselves "cosmicists". Amorality is also rejected by almost everyone; even pure self interest (which is itself very rare in Dzordinia) isn't "amoral".
