Religion

Info on Religions
The city of Doramraz doesn’t have an official religion. The majority of citizens are agnostic or just don’t really think about religion at all. However, there have been foreign religions that have somehow managed to gain some followers in Doramraz, though there aren’t very many. Those who do follow some sort of spirituality sometimes form religious clubs with other believers. Some of the members of these clubs meet together at regular intervals, either at rented out restaurants or theatre halls or even someone’s residence, if it’s large enough. Some of the richer members even build temples/churches to their deity/deities. It should be noted that many of these religions that have made their way to Doramraz haven’t exactly stayed the same throughout the years. At the moment, here are the descriptions of the two largest religious groups:

Mother Goddess
Comprising of about 17% of the population, according to the latest survey (the accuracy of which seems rather doubtful), mother goddess worshippers believe in harmony with nature and themselves. They believe that while the mother goddess does have a name, it is a secret, unknowable name that cannot be comprehended with the human mind. She has a helper, her son Vashmir (a corruption from the original, Vasvishamir). This demi-god is the guardian of the night while his mother sleeps and he is represented by the moon.

While the majority of mother goddess worshippers are a fairly peaceful lot, preferring to speak out against pollution in a more peaceful way, some extremists have formed terrorist groups, attempting to sabotage anything they believe destroys the environment.

The Holy Trio
The holy trio is comprised of Aeoluthot and his two wives, Melryna and Izobrashet. Aeluthot is the god of the heavens while Melryna takes care of the earth and Izobrashet resides in the underworld. Holy trio believers make up about 12% of the population and believe in the interconnectedness of everything around them. Some worship all three while others prefer to focus on one. Holy trio followers are also heavy into ancestral worship.

Atheists
There is a fairly substantial group of rather philosophical atheists; about 8% of the population. A lot of them enjoy meeting at the local bar and discussing the latest philosophical fad. Most of these people are generally respectful of the beliefs of others but there are those who will go to great lengths to disprove a person’s religion, even to the point of violence.

Other
Other religions comprise of about 3% of the population.
