Salmuric Religions, also known as Salmurian Religions, are, in the context of Comparative religion, are a grouping of religious movements that originated in Salmuria or derived from Qibirad religion or philosophy.
Background
Qibirad, the largest of the Salmurian religions is also seen as the oldest of them and originated in what is now Salmuria as a blend of the early Naciw (early Anatolian migrants) folk traditions as well as the already existing local folk practices, and has evolved over time. Qibirad in itself, however, does not claim any singular founder and places the role of prophets as only generational guides instead of bringers of new tradition or teachings and claim the Qibirad has always been the faith of the Naciwas and later Salmuria.

Qibirad
Main Article: Qibiriad Qibirad is the largest of the Salmuric Religions and the official state religion of Salmuria. It professes the worship of the Ciwas (3 incarnated god figures) as aspects and prophets of Kuvala, it also includes various folk traditions, notably ancestor reverence.
Ẽnakuvism
Main Article: Ẽnakuvism Ẽnakuvism is a mostly extinct religion, existing only in small pockets but historically used to be way larger with its followers waging Multiple wars in Salmuria. Its main philosophy is that the Ciwas, while having been prophets in the past have betrayed Kuvala and have corrupted the mission of the faith, and therefor believe in strict adherence to worship only Kuvala and a "catastrophe" is needed to restore the old faith.
Nibasism
Main Article: [Nibasism]] Originally an offshoot of Ẽnakuvism, Nibasism is a pacifist monotheistic faith that agrees that the Ciwas are false betrayers, but instead true followers of Kuvala are charged to be pacifists and bring back Kuvala's light into the world through doing good deeds. It is also a relatively small group, but it is not as repressed as Ẽnakuvism is.
Aruweism
Main Article: Aruweism Aruweism is typically referred to as just a sect of Qibirad, but its followers, especially those outside of Salmuria express that it is its own seperate religion. It recognizes the spiritual leadership of the Ciwas but expresses that ancestor worship is the most important aspect of the faith.
