YN's Dominant Religion?

Postby Reformed Wercas 00for school00 » Thu Oct 04, 2018 5:26 pm

Mine is Savatism which is the basis of everything in my country (thus making it a theocracy) Which has three deity's that represent my nations motto:

Sheka- Deity of Faith (believe) Normally addressed as a slender blonde woman with pale white skin around seven feet tall who carries around a tablet with the 10 basic tenants of the religion.


Zaren: Deity of obedience (obey) normally addressed as a muscular man with pale white skin and long black hair that stands at 11 feet tall. He is depicted carrying a sword called "Nases" which is Wercasian for cleaver, as the sword looks similar to a cleaver.


Geilese- Deity of plenty (cherish) he is the deity that the poor, laboring majority looks up to. He is almost always depicted with either a hammer or a pickaxe in his hand and acts as the forger of the gods. He is normally addressed as a burly brown haired man with grimy olive skin standing at eight feet tall.

The religion was made up by a far right leaning cult leader after the fall of the Democratic States of Wercas (which is a non active account that I've used in the past) for power and fame. After gaining a small following they began to gain more and more followers until they had enough members to conquer the now barren and war-torn Wercasia.

There is no dominant religion in our nation, we are a predominantly secular state with over 68% of the population reporting no religious affiliation.

The largest religion, however, is Buddhism, 11% of the population reports adhering to Buddhism.

Everyone must worship God-Imperator Jeffrey. Those who don't worship him are given a warning to convert. Those who don't convert vanish overnight. And believe me, we monitor almost everything.
The Imperium is ruled by God-Imperator Jeffrey the Conqueror of Universes, Rightful Ruler of All, and Supreme Leader for All Eternity. The God-Imperator has control over a significant portion of the multiverse. Everyone is oppressed.

Parliament and the State are officially agnostic, as per the Agnosticism Act of 1970. The Disestablishment Act (1959) abolished all remaining privileges accorded to the Episcopal Church of Brystolville (which had been separated from the Church of England under the Church Act of 1954), and declared that the official/national/dominant religion of Brystolville be listed as 'No Religion' or 'Secular' in all applicable publications.

42% of the population are non-religious in the strict sense (atheist, agnostic, ignostic, religiously unaffiliated, etc.), while an additional 22% reported a religious/spiritual belief that is officially considered a non-religion by Parliament, such as Buddhism, Unitarian Universalism, Cheondoism, Reform Judaism, most forms of "paganism", Taoism, and certain forms of Confucianism.

Freedom of religion is Parliament's highest priority, and the State protects the right of adults over 21 to practice the four government-approved religions (Anglicanism, Catholicism, Shaivite Hinduism, and Sunni Islam) behind closed doors in registered religious buildings under the supervision of licenced ministers, provided that they do not break any laws or cite religious beliefs as an excuse to disobey the law or the policies of public institutions such as schools.

The Labour Party bars registered congregants of the four legal religious organisations from becoming Party members, while the Communist Party and Secular Socialist Party require their members to be atheists. In order to maintain separation between Church and State and to cut down on religious bias and clerical influence, Members of Parliament must keep any religious views private, and may not participate in religious services while in office, nor may they meet with religious ministers or any employee or former employee of a religious organisation.

Over 70% of today's Ruvians identify as Caellian

The Caellian faith first originated in the marsh and swamp lands of the Northern Lakes region in Western Ru many thousands of years ago. Ancient historians believe that Cael might likely have been a deity in an obscure ancient pantheon of the people who settled these lands that was associated with summer, the sun, light, and dragonflies. This deity gained popularity until a monotheistic cult formed around him and spread southward to the powerful newly developing Kingdom of The Lakes that dominated the region and solidified the faith's structure and teachings. Through trade and military action it spread south and west to eventually be adopted by the Kingdom of the Meadows and the Kingdom of the Hills. It was spread to the Great Cities of The Dragonlands in Eastern Ru thanks to the Red Prophet's traveling east and converting Aiden I Rellinaiche, who proceeded to conquer the Dragonlands and found the Kingdom of Ru, naming the Western Faith the official religion of his empire. Ideas about the nature of Cael and specific religious practices were formed by mixing elements of the old polytheistic dragon pantheon of these lands, particularly the Great Sun Dragon. It now predominates Ru and has strong influence on it's surrounding nations and the twin Ruvian continents. It's presence further is a bit less outside of Drailen immigrant communities. Most Drailen in other nations still hold to this faith, at least nominally.

It is a monotheistic religion with several denominations primarily distinguished between "traditionalist" with a strong emphasis on priestly hierarchy and with several key elements and rituals retained from the polythestic dragon pantheon from eastern Ru, and "Reformist" which came from a fundamentalist revolution in the faith, and claims to more closely stick to the Holy Book and the ancient days of the faith's origin in the western kingdoms. It takes it's monotheism to the extreme, claiming not only is there only one God, but that he is in actuality honored and worshiped, and belonging to all faithful people regardless of the particularities of their faith and conception of god or gods. Claiming that due to his incomprehensible benevolence, he judges people not on their worship, but only on how they treat others, codified in the 9 fundamental moral virtues, which Caellians believe are universal and known, at least in the most basic sense, across cultures by almost all of mortal kind. ( Rough english translation of the virtues: diligence/wisdom, humility/perspective, courage, joy/love, serenity/peace, honor/respect/honesty/integrity, moderation, charity/generosity, kindness/mercy.)

Despite being the faith of the reptilian like Drailen, Cael is predominantly depicted as a young human boy child with warm white robes. The idea among the ancient Drailen of the east being that this was a clear sign of God's confounding near infinite humility and benevolence. (In ancient Ru, humans were strongly associated with the servant and slave classes in the cities of the east. Making a human child to be one of the humblest forms a deity of such power could choose to take, and was seen as an act of love to unworthy mortals, who were beloved unconditionally despite their comparative insignificance.) Historians say that this human form has more likely stuck because Cael originated in lands dominated by humans, and thus was initially worshiped by them exclusively as part of a human pantheon (he was a boy child in order to emphasize the innocence, warmth, and cheerful joy of the God of Summer, while still belonging to the masculine half of that pantheon.) His symbol, and the symbol of this faith is the dragonfly. A peaceful little creature very prominent in the swamp's of his historical origin, and also one that can be found in every major region in the vast Ruvian empire.
A civilization with an over 3,000 year history of lizard people killing each other and enslaving everyone else. Now they've finally calmed down and formed a modern westernized constitutional monarchy. (long live Emperor Yoshio!)

A form of Christian mysticism, but there is a significant amount of spiritualists and occultists in government as well. And of course there are Indigenous beliefs as well, along with Islam, Hinduism, Confucianism, etc, depending on the region. And atheism as well, obviously.
