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 kerbals to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements—although there is no clear definition of 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.

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.

Out of Character Note : come up with a different name for kafrican ascensionism, it has nothing to do witj the ideology.


Many world religions are also organized religions, most definitively Integralism and Eubudism, while others are arguably less so.

Classification

A map of major denominations and religions of the world

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.
