Religions of the Known Galaxy

Religion comprises the beliefs which are held concerning the divine and the supernatural, and the social structures through which they are expressed. There are a plurality of known religions in the Galaxy, from the folk religions of pre-FTL civilizations, to religions practiced across thousands of planets. Religion has played a major role in interstellar politics and has been the cause of many events.

Crenian Religions
There are many Crenian religions. Most modern religions are monotheistic and have complex descriptions of society.

Celthash
Celthash is an ancient Crenian religion that is still the most widely practiced religion in the Crenian Empire. Celthash is based on the Celth, which is a collection of the teachings of many prophets who had great connection to the Goddess Celthys. Celthash teaches the world was birthed by the Goddess Celthys and shaped by her. (more stuff here) There are many denominations of Celthash, but the major branches of Celthash are:


 * Traditional Celthash, which is the most practiced form of Celthash, is the practice of Celthash that has developed over many centuries. It does, however differ from the practice of Celthash in it's early years.
 * Reformed Celthash was created in the midst of the social change that occurred in Crenian society in the 4th century ABV. Reformed Celthash is more so a group of different Celthash denominations than a single group itself. Different groups have varying beliefs that are sometimes considered to different to merge into one. However, many of those in Reformed Celthash can agree in their opposition to Traditionals, and are sometimes willing to unite against it, as has been seen in some historical examples. It is generally more egalitarian than it's counterparts, but since Reformed Celthash is further divided into smaller tendencies, the level to which gynocentric ideas are relegated varies.
 * Fundamentalist Celthash is a recent movement to return to the most early practices of the religion found in pre-stellar Crenian societies. Fundamentalist tenants tend to be far more harsh than any other variation of Celthash, reflecting the harshness of early practitioners of Celthash.
