Kaleans are completely and totally | Kaleans are nominally completely and totally irreligous. The relics of Kalean spirituality where swept away with the advent of the Technocracy and the implementation of institutionalized secularism. Religion is (Technically) legal though the laws governing religious freedom are not enforced, immigrants to Kalean worlds who have some sort of spiritual belief are subject to every kind of discrimination and many face complete ruin. The only thing all Kaleans believe in that could be considered even remotely religious would be their belief that knowledge is the purest expression of the universe and by acquiring more knowledge, a Kalean can better understand the universe. Kaleans report to have found evidence of the afterlife though are unable to describe it beyond the fact that it exists. | ||
However, since the discovery of empirical evidence of the Afterlife, younger Kalean generations have begun to study religion and spirituality again. Out of this movement the only extant Kalean religion was born, the Zerissian Sect. The Zerissian Sect is still Atheist in a manner of speaking, but like the Human religion of Bhuddism, Zerissians are atheistic in that they are far more focused on meditation, ethics, spirituality and physicality than the notion of god. Privately though, most Zerissians hold belief in an unknowable, alien god similar to the beliefs held my human scientist Freeman Dyson and believe that this god does not desire prayer or worship, so he/she/it is not described within Zerissian texts. | |||
In the demographics of irreligion, 32% of Kaleans are Atheists, 47% are Agnostic, 19% are Apatheist, 1% are Zerissian and a further 1% subscribe to none of these philosophies or to non-Kalean belief systems. | |||
