'''Religion''' is a range of social-cultural systems, including designated behaviors and practices, morals, beliefs, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that generally relate humanity to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements—although there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion. Different religions may or may not contain various elements ranging from the divine, sacredness, faith, and a supernatural being or beings.

The origin of religious belief is an open question, with possible explanations including awareness of individual death, a sense of community, and dreams. Religions have sacred histories, narratives, and mythologies, preserved in oral traditions, sacred texts, symbols, and holy places, that may attempt to explain the origin of life, the universe, and other phenomena.

There are an estimated 10,000 distinct religions worldwide, though nearly all of them have regionally based, relatively small followings. Four religions—Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—account for over 77% of the world's population, and 92% of the world either follows one of those four religions or identifies as nonreligious, meaning that the remaining 9,000+ faiths account for only 8% of the population combined. The religiously unaffiliated demographic includes those who do not identify with any particular religion, atheists, and agnostics, although many in the demographic still have various religious beliefs.

Many world religions are also organized religions, most definitively including the Abrahamic religions Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, while others are arguably less so, in particular folk religions, indigenous religions, and some Eastern religions. A portion of the world's population are members of new religious movements. Scholars have indicated that global religiosity may be increasing due to religious countries having generally higher birth rates.

Different religions may or may not contain various elements ranging from the divine, sacredness, faith, and a supernatural being or beings.

There are an estimated 800 distinct religions accross the Kerbol System, though nearly all of them have regionally based, relatively small followings. Four Religions; Eubudism, Integralism, [Kraken Default], and [Zokesia Type] - make up a majority of the Kerbin's population. The religiously unaffiliated demographic includes those who do not identify with any particular religion, atheists, and agnostics, although many in the demographic still have various religious beliefs.

The academic practice of comparative religion divided religious belief into philosophically defined categories called world religions. Some academics studying the subject have divided religions into three broad categories:

  1. World religions, a term which refers to transcultural, international religions;
  2. Indigenous religions, which refers to smaller, culture-specific or nation-specific religious groups;
  3. New religious movements, which refers to recently developed religions which have not reached mainstream adoption.

Celestial Faiths

Celestial faiths are a spiritual belief system centered on the divine purpose of the physical heavens and the dualistic struggle between forces of creation and destruction. All branches of this belief system posit a fundamental duality in the cosmos:

  • Forces of progress, order, and the pursuit of knowledge. The faithful fulfill the divine plan by advancing their understanding of the universe.
  • Forces of chaos, stagnation, and destruction. These entities seek to hinder the faithful, keeping them bound to Kerbin and away from the divine purpose.
