Spiritual Warfare in Your Nation

[Osweya]

Yes, we have priests from the Temple who call upon the Gods to aid our cause; sometimes this means praying for direct divine intervention, but other times it may just mean more spiritual help like praying for guidance or forgiveness.

[Badiyah]

In Badiyah many people (especially the more religious conservative groups) believe in spiritual warfare but there is no scientific evidence of it ever happening.

[Multiversal Venn-Copard]

-snip-

It's astonishing how similar the VCMR is in this regard - its military is infamous across the R0 metaverse for engaging and killing any gods it encounters. While there is no direct persecution of those who worship preternatural entities, there is a widespread public campaign to inform citizens of both the VCMR and other civilizations that their objects of worship can be exterminated at any time.

The Dimensional Core, of course, organized this entire setup to ensure that no single being could challenge its own power, giving VCMR High Command and, by extension, the rest of the nation, the narrative that these beings pose an existential risk.

[Hamidiye]

Well, the Sultan and Caliph last declared Djihad in 1915... oh, you mean... ahahaha, no.

[Soleos]

Those people are classified as Defective and are arrested by State Police for encouraging backward thinking that's diametrically opposed to the Technocracy's values.

[The Atlantean Islands]

Mostly nonexistent.

[Greater Satanic Leviathan]

Spiritual warfare is the practice of praying at people to remove unwanted influences such as those from evil spirits or demons.

In the Greater Satanic Leviathan, we practice spiritual warfare against the enemies of Satan, casting maledictions against foreign peoples and using desecration against areas under the influence of God or his angels or prophets.

Here in Novo Vaticanus™, both the government and the people are very aware of such people and nations as yours, who've dedicated themselves to the ruin of souls in the name of satan. Therefore, there are state-funded legions of men and women who are entirely dedicated to, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, praying for any and all souls which wander away from the flock of God, which is the Body of Christ.

We realize that the grip of sin is tight, so we pour money into actively fighting the good fight, which is spiritual fucking jihad against all that is evil, in the name of the Catholic Church and everything that She stands for.

Dominus Vobiscum, my friend.

We STRONGLY CONDEMN the spiritual slavery and aggression of Novo Vaticanus and all that she stands for. We hereby issue a travel advisory cautioning all denizens of the Leviathan to avoid Novo Vaticanus and any associated territories. Furthermore we hereby issue sanctions prohibiting the sale of weapons, munitions, or other materials of strategic significance to the government of Novo Vaticanus as well as individuals and commercial entities associated with said government.

[Annuna]

The Hem-Netjer (Priests) of the Aten regularly bless the weapons of the Imperial Annunan Chorus and summon terrible spells upon whichever the Kingdom happens to be at war with. Annuna is also infamous for desecrating foreign temples, idols and other things of religious importance in war, and replacing them with Atenist graffiti or statues.

[Subhurbia]

Spiritual warfare is a very real thing in Subhurbia, though obviously it’s not literally visible in the physical plane. The rulers of Subhurbia and the secret military force, all of whom are magicians fight against lower spirits that highly influence the plane where the US, Russia, basically real life countries. The spirits are said to try to spread their influence to all physical realities. Even Adom is fully aware of the warfare and very few civilians know about it as well. In fact psychics and highly in tuned people of Subhurbia see the warfare all the time, through major events.

[Liberimery]

Um... do Catholics engage in spiritual warfare with Weapons of Mass destruction?

[Picentia]

Some people think they're carrying it out, yes.

Emphasis on think.

[Thermodolia]

There is no such thing as spiritual warfare in Thermodolia. Those who think there is such a thing are sent to the insane ward

[The Eternal Kawaii]

In the Name of the Eternal Kawaii, may the Cute One be praised

"Spiritual warfare" is commonplace among Kawaiians. It is universally accepted among our people that there are malevolent forces at work in the world, and these forces can be counteracted through prayers and other rituals invoking the Cute One's power against the forces of ecchiness.

This is usually practiced by our nekomusume nuns, who are called upon to ritually purify objects and places, cleansing them of unclean spirits before they can be used for sacred purposes. This covers a pretty broad-ranging area, from blessing shrines and prayer-halls to banishing the evil spirits that like to inhabit sake barrels or pocket-watches.

[Narland]

Spiritual warfare is the practice of praying at people to remove unwanted influences such as those from evil spirits or demons.

In the Greater Satanic Leviathan, we practice spiritual warfare against the enemies of Satan, casting maledictions against foreign peoples and using desecration against areas under the influence of God or his angels or prophets.

Members of other religions are restricted from using spiritual warfare. They can be removed from the vicinity by private security, or if they are on public property by police for obstructing traffic.

However in times of war, leaders of each religion must pray for victory and for the lives and health of the troops, the Lugal of the Leviathan, and the Queen.

There is a lot wrong with that link. Spiritual Warfare presented in Rationalwiki is a strawman caricature. It is Fundamentalist Christians that tend to have an over-proportionate obsession with demons and it seems almost anyone in their ranks are happy to cast them out of anything. Most Evangelicals are predisposed to treat demonic obsession as unhealthy and demonic possession as a psychiatric disorder. On the other side of Christendom, the Catholic and Orthodox Church have a select class of secular clergy whose occupation is exorcist, btw. Every Theistic Religion practices some form of "Spiritual Warfare," which for Christianity (and not just Evangelical Christianity) means standing against evil, doing good to and praying for our enemies amongst other things. In any religion once it has enough people can there be found those that see "demons behind every bush" and those who do not believe in anything Spiritual at all (even God).

The alternate Universe of the Commonwealth of Narland Prime, this is much the same. However, the Narlandverse is a place where mysticism, mystery men in masks, arch-villains, angelic and demonic forces are a low key but real factor woven into the fabric of their (fictional) reality. Mystic masters battle demonic forces in a 1930s pulp-fiction manner. "Real life" challengers of the unknown try to understand that what man was not meant to know with (severely toned down) lovecraftian consequences.

[Brystolville]

Practicing spiritual warfare is considered forcing religion, which is a serious crime in Brystolville. Forcing religion is punishable by a term of 3-10 years in a Community Rehabilitation Centre.
