| Tikälim, meaning ''Rationalism'' in [[wikipedia:Volapük|Stedorian]], is the state-sponsored atheistic-deistic civic religion/philosophy of the [[Stedoria|Stedorian People's Republic]] created during the [[First Stedorian Revolution]] to act as a new religion in place of [[Salvian Catholic Church|Salvian Christianity]] for the then newly-formed [[First Stedorian Republic|Stedorian Republic]]. The movement remained popular throughout the Republic's existence, due to harsh repression of Salvian Church by revolutionary and republic authorities, Tikälim's fervent advocation by the aforementioned authorities, appeal to the interests of the peasantry, and due to genuine interest in Tikälim owing to resentment held towards the Salvian Church due to the Church's importance in the [[Kingdom of Stedoria]].

| After the Republic's collapse, Tikälim was outlawed by royal authorities and harshly repressed, with it being used as a scapegoat for political repression. Despite this widespread repression, the movement remained alive in Stedoria, mainly in rural and remote communities of Stedoria, where royal authorities cared and worried little of political revolt by the peasantry, seeing as the first revolution was led largely by urban-dwelling Stedorians. This would remain the case until the monarchy was once again deposed in 1971.

| The theory of [[Gemotamism]], developed by [[Falk Jlüter]] and [[Kristof Yebalänan]], would come to view Tikälim as an integral part of its movement owing to the Gemotamism's promotion of progressive ideals. Jlüter and Yebalänan viewed the Salvian Church as a force which held society back through what they believed to be the Church's "Draconian thinking". They believed that for a Renaissance/Rebirth to be carried out within Dolch societies, they first would be required to overcome religion so that they would become more ethnically conscious and thus work further towards unity. | | | religions = |

| After the [[1971 Stedorian coup d'état]], in which [[Läkhart Viktor Drejlär]] and the Royal Stedorian Armed Forced seized power and established the [[Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Stedoria]], Tikälim was unbanned, and declared Stedoria's official religion once again. Drejlär had secretly been a Tikälimist since childhood owing to his rural origin, only feigning Salvian Catholicism in order to avoid persecution. Due to [[Gemotamism]]'s promotion of Tikälim, the ideology which the new junta established itself as, the new military government aggressively pursued the notion that the Salvian Church had been instruments of the monarchy, and, by extension, responsible for the suffering of Stedoria's people. Whilst Salvian Catholicism was never outlawed, it was repressed and looked down upon. Aggressive measures were also taken by the military junta to increase Tikälim throughout Stedoria by encouraging citizens to abandon their previous faiths and religions and convert to Tikälim.

| After the military junta fell in 1980, the re-established royal government did not officially embark on state-sanctioned repression against Tikälim due to the large amount of followers the religion/philosophy had due to the aggressive promotion of it by the junta. Despite this, however, repression de facto existed during the [[Stedorian Civil War]], as Stedorian rebel forces were almost exclusively Tikälimist due to the Gemotamist orientation of the rebels. After the rebels' defeat, Tikälim would still remain tolerated, though de facto discrimination persisted.

| After the [[Second Stedorian Revolution]], Tikälim was once again re-established as Stedoria's official philosophy; other religions besides Tikälim are still legal, however. Government initiatives to promote Tikälim have only occurred in moderate amounts; despite this, however, religious freedom watchdogs have accused the Stedorian government of sectarianism and violating religious freedoms, to which the government has responded by claiming that Tikälim is not a religion, but a philosophy.
| | Tikälim, meaning ''Rationalism'' in [[wikipedia:Volapük|Stedorian]], is a [[wikipedia:Pandeism|pandeist]] civic religion and philosophy created during the [[First Stedorian Revolution]] to act as a new religion in place of [[Salvian Catholic Church|Salvian Christianity]] for the then newly-formed [[First Stedorian Republic|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, between 1800 and 1830, also be heavily influenced by the newly-created [[Sentism|Sentist]] religion of [[Ceris]], which was seeing rapid growth in the region, particularly after the publishing of the Sentist text [[Sentism#Die Erlösung des Menschen im Kosmos|Die Erlösung des Menschen im Kosmos]] in 1821. |
