There is no name attributed to it but many believe there are 3 rival forces in power. The "Force of Grace" which is an entity associated with concepts such as perfection, elegance, beauty, order, harmony, utopia, paradise. The "Force of Abomination" which is an entity associated with imperfection, grittiness, ugliness, grimness, savagery, dystopia, hell. And the "Force of None" which is an impartial entity that stands in the middle. The belief is that it is the task of our Empire to challenge and defeat the forces of Abomination and None, leaving the Force of Grace as the sole power in the cosmos, ushering it into complete perfection.

For example, Dutch Protestants and Lutherans are almost entirely Dutch-speaking, with a great number of Lutherans being descended from German and Belgian settlers. Naturally, almost all Anglicans are descended from Anglo-Celtic settlers from the British Isles, with a majority of Catholics (with most Anglo-Celtic Catholics being Irish or Scottish), as well as a majority of Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, and Latter-day Saints being descended from the British as well.

Buddhists are almost entirely ethnically Chinese, and Muslims are almost entirely Indonesian, Malaysian, or Lebanese. Like other Pacific nations, there is also a great deal of Pacific Islander influence within the LDS church since the first Mormon missionaries arrived in the Islands. It's not particularly known why the LDS church appeals to the Pacific Islander population so much, but the correlation is too large to be ignored.

*The term Other Lutheran is used to distinguish Dutch Protestants and Lutherans who are not members of the Dutch Protestant church.
