Religions in the Age of Convergence

Through long cycles of religious revivals, antitheist crackdowns, and the never ending argument over which version of what god or gods really created all of this, the crucible of ideology that makes up the very concept of religion has solidified into a few umbrella philosophies. After the severe oppression of previous ages, the question of God's identity became academic and unfashionable. The question now, one that even the staunchest athiest can ask, is why.
Why and for what purpose did the creator of Mankind and/or sentient life in general have for the deed? Whether that creator's name is evolution, random chance, Jehovah, Odin, Enki, Shangdi, Olodumare, the Source, or any number of other beings and concepts, the question has become what the ultimate destination of the journey started at the Beginning is.
-Seekers of Wisdom are the most faithful continuation of Old Earth religions. They believe that the ultimate purpose of mankind is a pursuit of enlightenment, wisdom, and harmony.
-Perfected Path are the logical extension of the Old Earth Darwinists, Eugenicists, Raëlists, Aum Shinrikyo, and other similar philosophies. They believe that the purpose of life is to attain physical perfection (or as close as they can) and improve the species generation over generation.
-New Disciples of the Event Horizon of Man are transhumanists who believe that the purpose of life and its ultimate destination is to merge with the technology it spawned, mingling the human species with cybernetics and 'perfecting' themselves through the artifice and genius of mankind.
-Cosmicists are those that believe that the universe is truly random, where even if God or gods exist, they don't particularly care about an individual species' fate or future. These can be of the Covenant of Spacers, nihilistic atheists, or Kthonikers who think of three dimensional life as humans think of bacterium. Cosmicists fundamentally believe in nothing, which might mean a human-centric moral code or it might manifest in a total resentment of morality at all.

Virtues and Taboos

In each entry, you will find the Ethics category which innumerates the Exalted and Reviled traits of the religion. Each Exalted trait provides an extra +1 Reaction from the faithful and each Reviled trait provides a -1 penalty from the faithful. The trait must be known to the faithful or otherwise 'on display' to alter the Reaction modifier. In Religious Professions (see below) having Exalted Traits is typically a requirement for Status, and Reviled Traits can hold your advancement back or at least require atonement.

Religious Professions
