The Most Disorganized Religion of 2020 in Fringe Earth | World Anvil

The Most Disorganized Religion of 2020

The Most Disogranised Religion of 2020

  As I wrote about Catholicism I thought "damn, that's a strictly hierarchical religion". I also thought that in most fantasy and even sci-fi settings religions are mostly based on Catholicism. But what about those which aren't organized! Won't spoil them to you, you'll have to research it yourselves ;) . So I had an idea for this category.   I'd wanna read about a religion that's totally horizontal in its nature, not vertical like we're used to. The wiki article explains it quite in detail, but if don't want to read that, I've got just two rules.   1) It should be as disorganized as possible. 2) It should still work and feel like a unitary religion, with all the faithful having a general idea of what they believe in. The sense of unity should still be there ;)      
Post your submission in the comments section and may the most disorganized Church win!
Category prize

I, Teyvill, pledge to award the winner of this category a videoprimer of their setting.

The winner will provide a script (I can help writing it), and I'll handle the rest according the specifications ;)

I'm not this truly fits, as the followers do not have a complete cosmology, but watch out! Here come the Contrition Knights! https://www.worldanvil.com/w/the-galaxy-of-the-third-breath-cperkett/a/contrition-knights---the-ultimate-pains-in-the-hindquarters-organization

Great! I'll check it out when the review time comes, after December 20th. In the meantime it would be awesome if you could tell whoever you can about the ACA, so we could have more categories and contenders overall :))

I'm still fairly new and so don't have a lot of people that I converse with, but happy to try! Quick question - what does ACA stand for?

Hi again! Sorry for short notice, this was known since last Saturday, but haven't got time to comment before that. The WE Celebration was postponed until February the 6th, and that's when the ACA winners will be announced.

The Dragon Cult presented here is not so much DIS-organized as it is UN-organized. And with one narrow exception, they're not very comedic. Hope you enjoy them anyway!   https://www.worldanvil.com/w/harroc-gulmyros/a/the-dragon-cult-organization

Thanks! And it can be not comedic, the comedic is for my other category, but I've done goofed and forgot to change the subheader in this one while copying from the older one. Now it's fixed, thanks for your submission, gonna check it out during the review time! ;)

You wanted chaos, I created as much as I could without specifically making it a religion of chaos. This was so much fun! https://www.worldanvil.com/w/overlord-lady-grayish/a/the-cult-of-terb-organization

If you're seeing this, I may have used your article for my 2023 Reading Challenge.
