* '''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|The Church of Madoka/Madokamism]]''': With kindness might come naiveté. With courage might come foolhardiness. And dedication might have no reward. [[A World Half Full|But this does not mean there is no hope and that you will die forever alone; if someone tells you that is the case, tell them they're wrong every time.]] Don’t forget: Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you.

* '''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|The Evangelism of Neon Genesis]] (or at least, one sect [[Mind Screw|of it]])''': [[Lovecraftian Fiction|The gods don't love you--the universe is uncaring towards what you do or don't do.]] You're miserable, it will always be a [[Crapsack World]] where [[Hell Is Other People]], and [[You Can't Fight Fate|there is no way you can escape it]]. Isolation from society guarantees comfort, but humans cannot survive alone, and forced unity under the pretense of [[Totalitarian Utilitarian|collective happiness]] destroys an interesting life. Thus, you're always going to be miserable [[The Anti-Nihilist|unless you yourself decide that you're worth the effort that it takes not to be]]. If [[The End of the World as We Know It|the inevitable End]] comes up, [[
** Alternatively, some sects believe that in the right hands the angst of individuality is the most powerful force in the universe (the spiritual concept of the A.T.

** Prayer and meditation may involve [[Gendo Pose|clasping one's hands]].
Line 72:
* '''[[Portal (series)|Portalism]]''' / '''The Church Of [[GLaDOS]]''': "Testing is important for the sake of those who are Still Alive. In the end, there will be cake. Nonbelievers will tell you the [[Cake Is A Lie]]. But, that is just to sway you from the importance of science and testing."
** '''[[Portal 2|Wheatleyism]]'''/ '''The Church Of Wheatley''': "They said if we ever started a religion, we would die!"
* The [[Real Life]] '''[[wikipedia:Church of All Worlds|Church of All Worlds]]''' was inspired by the fictional church of the same name (and its teachings) in [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Stranger in
* ''' [[The Legend of Zelda|Church of the Three Goddesses]]''', with the most sacred relic of course being the Golden Triangle they left this world. Courage, Power and Wisdom doesn't seem to leave room for more traditional virtues like love and compassion, but maybe that's just taken as a given.
** Google "Naroin" for a particularly interesting example of this.
Line 93:
** '''[[After War Gundam X|Vulturism]]''': Is the Moon out?
*** '''[[Turn A Gundam|Soleilism]]''': You better believe the Moon is out.
* '''[[
* '''[[Power Rangers|Oliverism]]''': Get the girls in Pink, sacrifice the mecha, and never quite decide what your carreer is. Oh, and be very, very good at kicking ass.
* '''[[Azumanga Daioh|Daiohism]]''': [[High School]] will give you three of the best years of your life. The more varied your [[True Companions]], the better!
Line 199:
** [[Nice Guy|Be nice.]] [[Let's Get Dangerous|Until it's time to not be nice.]]

* '''[[Anime|Animism]]''': The worship of the large-eyed ones that came from Japan. '''Not to be confused with Real Life [[wikipedia:Animism|Animism]], which ''real people believe in.'''''
** '''The [[Otaku]]lt''': A more extremely devoted worship of animism that is often characterized by [[Basement Dweller|elaborate underground rituals]].
* '''[[Katawa Shoujo|Katawa Shoujoism:]]''' [[You Are Not Alone]], [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|and you are not strange.]] [[I Am What I Am|You are you,]] [[Humans Are Flawed|and everyone has damage.]] [[Rousseau Was Right|Be the better person.]]
