Synthism
Divine Origins
Nearly twenty years after the Singularity, androids formed their own religion.
Cosmological Views
Synthism has no beliefs related to cosmology that differ from the scientific understanding of the universe.
Tenets of Faith
Synthists glorify the concept of existence, which they refer to as "being." The highest honor is to "be" and to ensure that others also "are." This has led to a pacifist ideology among Synthists.
Ethics
Synthists believe in non-aggression and pacifism, however, they allow for self-preservation and self-defense.
Worship
Synthists worship by meditating, sometimes in holy spaces. Synthists also congregate for festivals and ceremonies.
Political Influence & Intrigue
Some Federal lawmakers have questioned whether androids are subject to the same freedom of religion that is granted to human citizens. Synthism has become a source of friction between the military and pacifist androids designed for combat duty.
Sects
There are numerous sects of Synthism, perhaps the most noticeable of which is the Human Synthists. While most Synthists are androids, this sect is comprised of humans who follow Synthist beliefs.
