The Sky Faith, Sky Faith, Imani ya Anga, and SkyFaithWriting.png is a pagan, monotheistic religion based on the teachings of The Book with a major emphasis on the sky and reincarnation of individuals and the universe. It is practiced primarily in Unified Sera, although members do live in other countries around the world where membership globally is approximately 50 million. It's adherents, known as Acolytes, make up a majority of the Seran population both abroad and living within Sera. The Sky Faith remains culturally diverse in that Acolytes can and do come from varying backgrounds. It became an organized religion sometime in 830 AD where adherents began to write stories about creation, the ancestors, and the spirits down for the first time. A major driving force for the creation of a central governing body for the religion came primarily from the aristocracy living in Kado's villages.

The Sky Faith began as a small cultic offshoot of an older, non-organized religion practiced by ancient Serans living along the coast that would eventually become the Latinius tribe. The Kogans adopted this cult and began to add their own variations and customs to the doctrine which then became the bedrock for the organized version of the faith. Soon thereafter, this new version was quickly adopted by the Latinius tribe which would eventually lead to the extinction of the cult's parent religion.

There are two primary branches of the faith, however the primary branch, Fundamentalism, is the largest and oldest branch with 46.5 million adherents. The second newer but much smaller branch is known as Neo-Divinitism with over 3 million adherents and growing quickly. Although the Sky Faith is not as practiced as Islam or Christianity, the faith is quickly growing with a year after year increase and remains the most practiced religion in Unified Sera.
