Religions in Caldonia

A List With Short Descriptions and Ratings Compiled by Theologin Pfefferiansnoog, Professor of Clerical Practices, School of Theology, Adventurer's University of Caldonia

Apparaxi-im - A spiritual mindset followed exclusively, but exhaustively, by angels. Apparaxi-im teaches peace through obedience. What is obeyed is significantly less important than obeying itself. Rules and laws are sacred, no matter what those laws enforce. Enforcing laws is the next important thing, and the closest thing angels have to fun. 1/5 Maybe someone should make a law outlawing Apparaxi-im and watch angels try to work out that paradox.
Koretaketo - The religion most demons follow is a sort of an ethical hedonism for communities - more a moral philosophy than a religion. The pursuit of happiness is paramount, but demons claim to seek the maximum enjoyment for the most people. They also, interestingly, find that destructive behavior -- toward oneself or others -- results in more suffering than pleasure, and thus eschew extremes commonly associated with "hedonism." 4/5 Would be a five, but if you're going to seek pleasure, don't be halfhearted about it..
Nekarra - The most common religion among feren, the worship of the mother goddess Nekarra is primarily centered around deserved filial loyalty, with a secondary emphasis on never trusting other species. Nekarra is a member, or former member, of a pantheon, according to the creation myth. 3/5. Kind of boring, really.
Nogibozan - a primarily human belief that gods are pretty much everywhere and always doing stuff. If a human witnesses a mildly impressive event that has even the least bit of coincidence or incomprehension about it, the event is blamed on a god. Often a not-before-known god (the number of memorials to unknown gods is impressive). 1/5 Please
Otherworldism - Rising in popularity in recent centuries, technically otherworldism covers two branches of religious thought. The more popular is the ritual worship of angels. This branch also has some overlap with nogibazan, wherein angels are revered as intermediaries between humans and their multitudinous gods. The other branch is more marginalized and involves replacing the angels with demons. 3/5 Bonus points for a tangible object of worship, but minus several points for an object of worship that largely disagrees with your religious philosophy.
Psyho-Spiritualism - A popular belief system among cerebrek (as far as any religious system is popular), psycho-spiritualism centers around The Ghost of Winter and Song. In orthodox psycho-spiritualism, the Ghost is a literal figure, alternately created spontaneously by the psychic resonance of powerful artisans particularly in tun with the world around them or else the soul of the first cerebrek, a supposed self-created proto cerebrek without gender who generated all other cerebrek with their mind. Many modern branches of psycho-spiritualism treat the Ghost of Winter and Song as a concept, a spirit only in the same sense as "the spirit of the age." In these traditions, Winter and Song are treated as opposed concepts, Song represents the resonance of the world, while Winter represents the restructuring of this resonance. 2/5 Unnecessarily esoteric and pretentious.
Suism - Elves call it the veneration of Elvishness, the core essence of what it means to be an Elf and the ideals of Elvish nature. However, in practice it is more the worship of self. The core tenants essentially teach that being an elf means being the best and being right. There are no real rituals, though there is an afterlife of sorts -- populated entirely by elves, of course. 4/5 Among religions it is comparatively forthright and honest about it's true aims.
