Empirism: A religion for the future
The last 6 years have arguably been the best for sentientkind in a long time. All over the world, mine were opened, markets created, new industries develloped. Wealth increased, monuments were set up and more and more regions were unified, creating the wealthiest, best time since the decline of the Old Empire.
However, sentientkind has still been hindered by remnant of the pasts. Old grudges. Preconceptions. Racism. And, most of all, religion. Even, now, in our era of progress, most religions are still a mix of untested assumption and conflicting precepts, barely cimented together by custom and tradition.
Facing this problem, the New Empire is proud to present you its solution. Empirism. Empirism is the first religion designed specifically to serve progress rather than hinder it. Its large, flexible pantheon can include most people's god, facilitating their integration. The almighty figure of Caesar Aeterna, the Eternal Emperor ruling over all the other gods help justifying the ruling classes' control, while pushing them to promote progress. The value pursued by the clergy, those of honours, obediance, strength, hard work and respect for the socially superior help maintain orders while promoting growth.
Finally, its system or reincarnation, where worthy worshippers get to reincarnate into members of an higher social class help to prevent social unrest even in the direst circumstance.
Embrace the future, Embrace Empirism!
