List of religions and spiritual traditions (INWU)

Religion is a socio-cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, worldviews, dogmas, or organizations that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements. There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion or a spiritual tradition, and different religions may or may not contain various elements ranging from belief in divinity and in the sacred to the upholding of standardized rituals or hierarchies.

The following is a list of Themian religious and spiritual traditions.

Hexadecism

Hexadecism or the Faith of the Sixteen describes a continuum of spiritual beliefs derived from the religious reforms enacted by the Orthodox theologian Megara the Valentian, whereupon a great number of native and assimilated deities and lesser spirits previously worshiped under the Ancient Elyrian religion was consolidated into sixteen singular and native deities known as the Hexadecatheon.

Wuism

Wuism, or the Faith of the Warrior, is a set of religions primarily originating from the teachings of Jinshan-gong and his followers, drawing inspiration from traditional Zhenian paganism. Although centered around the deity of war, Wuism has taken many forms around the world, with native and assimilated deities and other beings integrated under a hierarchic system under the deity of war. Many denominations of Wuism have localized to have patriotic aspects for the local state.

Although there are variations of deities by denomination, Wuism is normally centered around three gods - Dhemir, the Goddess of Light, Sun, Wisdom and Beginning; Shinmir, the God of War, Storms, Lightning and Power; and Gaonmir, the God of the Dead, Afterlife, Resurrection and the Seas. Each of the three deities represent the past, present and future respectively; the transition of rule from Shinmir to Gaonmir, although it is said to be well beyond the timeline of human civilization, is said to be the end of the world.
