Rajitism, followers of which call themselves Rajits, are an east Adulan esoteric ethnoreligious group who adhere to a monotheistic, syncretic, and ethnic religion whose main tenets are the unity of God and the belief in reincarnation and the eternity of the soul. Most Rajit religious practices are kept secret. Rajits do not permit outsiders to convert to their religion, and marriage outside the Rajit faith is rare and strongly discouraged. Rajitism incorporates elements of Islam, Christianity, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and other philosophies and beliefs, creating a distinct and secretive theology based on an esoteric interpretation of scripture, which emphasizes the role of the mind and truthfulness. Rajits believe in theophany and reincarnation, that at the end of the cycle of rebirth, which is achieved through successive reincarnations, the soul is merged with God.

Rajitism is most widely practiced in Rajihat and Verdusa. In these countries and internationally, there are approximately 6.1 million followers. The Rajit community played a critically important role in shaping the history of Verdusa, where it continues to play a significant political role. The 1957 Verdusa constitution insured a power sharing agreement between the country's four prominent religions, including Rajitism, and established Yerusalahm as a neutral "sacred" city. Though widely accepted by most of Verdusa's population and Rajits, fundamentalist Rajits long opposed the deal, and in 1987 Rajit military officers carried out an attempted coup against the Verdusan government, tried to capture Yerusalahm, and expanded into an insurgency under the Rajit Liberation Army, which has since been labeled a terrorist group by many nations.
