Religion and Spirituality

During its growth, the 'Naha' civilization encountered many religions and belief systems. It soon became apparent that 'Gods' were only locally based (despite assertions to the contrary) and even those successful religions that appealed to a lot of people could not provide the required evidence that a God truly existed. Thus, during the age of enlightenment, the Profession of Philosophers (the Philosophy Profession) took it upon itself to try to integrate all the useful parts of the religions, belief systems and understandings of morality and incorporate these into the basic underpinnings of the Legal Principles.

'Naha' education therefore looks at the many religions as myths, as interesting aspects of ancient human history. Their education system doesn't actively promote atheism, it isn't necessary as this is the assumed default position of any sensible member of society. Despite this, there are still some 'nahumar' which promote religious or spiritual-based philosophical beliefs but these are rare and are often ridiculed by the rest of society. Most of these are cults and are benign in nature, otherwise they would fall foul of the Legal Principles and be forcibly disbanded.

From the few visitors we've been able to interview, they find our religious beliefs and views quite incredible. In fact all the major religions are parodied and ridiculed on E-Zero.

The 'Naha' do like to celebrate the equinoxes, the solstices, birthdays, births, coming of age, first love, deaths and 'loving commitments' (marriages?). How these are celebrated varies from region to region.

There is a strong recognition and respect given to a form of spiritualism. This belief system can vary in details by region but the basic tenets are things like: -

Love, grace, integrity, patience, appreciation, care, harmony, poetry, cleanliness, honesty, charity, self-awareness, ritual, respect, etc.

Note: There are no spirits in N-Spiritualism.
