Talk:Beranism

Beranism originated in the late 1800s to early 1900s in the Empire of Transkarminia, a region known for its enlightenment-based Nazarism. Julius Jahoda and Vlastimil Beran founded Beranism and were members of the Three Forks Tavern Drinking Club, a movement that played a role in the Crimson Revolution of 1909.

The Three Forks Tavern Drinking Club, originally a literal drinking club, hosted philosophical discussions about global religion and spirituality, psychology, and quantum theory, specifically the observer effect. These discussions arose from the "journey of discovery" that members of the Wernerist Transkarminian academic underground undertook to find alternative methods of governance to the pseudo-kleptocratic monarchy in Transkarminia. Beran and Jahoda, who had a slightly more skeptical view of the enlightenment-based Nazarism present in the region, focused on the native religions of Norumbia and the principles of enlightenment-based faiths in Ozeros and Ochran.

Through their syncretic and scientific examination of various belief systems, Beran and Jahoda aimed to address the "broken sense of meaning" caused by the rise of Karminianism and rejected materialist views of contemporary socialist and populist philosophers. They noticed that the majority of the Ostrozavan people were "split between fanaticism or cynical indifference" as the infant movements of the Crimson Revolution began to take shape. In response, they wrote On the Origin of God, the central text of Beranism with a Wernerist bent.
