Tikälim, meaning Rationalism in Stedorian, is a pandeist civic religion and philosophy created during the First Stedorian Revolution to act as a new religion in place of CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE for the then newly-formed Stedorian Republic. The development of Tikälim originates from philosophical ideas and beliefs prominent during the Stedorian Enlightenment, which occured between the 17th and 18th centuries, emphasising humanism and rationalism. Tikälim would, in the early 1800s, be influenced by the newly-created Sentist religion of Ceris, which was seeing rapid growth in the region, particularly after the publishing of the Sentism's early text, Tanz der Nachtgeschwister in 1821.

Early History
Following the First Stedorian Revolution and establishment of the First Stedorian Republic, the new revolutionary government took aggressive measures against the Church in Stedoria, forcing all priests within the country to swear an oath of loyalty to the state above religion. This was met with increasing resistance from the clergy. Seeking to mobilise commoners against the clergy, along with diminishing the clergy's influence, the revolutionary regime created Tikälim as an alternative to Christianity, starting with its foundational document, The Gift of Reasoning from the Universe, published in 1794. In its early years, Tikälim would be met with only limited success among urban and Stedorian Dolch speaking populations, and virtually no success among rural peasants.
In 1802, Man's Abilities and His Future Destiny was published by Liegan Kißling. Kißling had, between 1799 and 1801, lived in Ceris, and had witnessed the early years of the nascent Sentist movement, founded by Edgar Schuchardt. Particularly inspired by Schuchardt's astronomical and cosmological observations. Kißling re-interpreted Schuchardt's doctrines, theorising that Schuchardt's "divine readings" were his realisation that a Creator deity had created the universe by itself becoming the universe. Kißling poised, however, that Schuchardt had misinterpreted this by using a theist analysis instead of a rational-based deist analysis.
