Ghanatism

Ghanatism is a monotheistic religion originating in Amurón on the basis of Tushātism. It centers on the worship of Ghanat, a deity originally from the Tushātist pantheon, and denies the existence of any other divine beings. Unlike most religions of Gondala, Ghanatism actively stresses its role as the only true path, frequently initiating ideological and even military action against adherents of other beliefs.

Basic Beliefs
As said above, Ghanatists belief in a single omnipotent deity - Ghanat - who is revered as the creator of everything, the guardian of life and also the granter of salvation. Ghanat is usually treated as masculine, but believed to actually be gender-neutral (in contrast to the Tushātist Ghanat, who is always regarded as a masculine deity. Belief in other god(desse)s is criminalized.

Ghanatism adopts the Tushātist cosmology of several interlinked spiritual worlds, all locked in a relationship with the material world. However, rather than viewing the spiritual dimensions as independent, Ghanatists view them as regions of a single spiritual reality, Moroyan: Jūnan ā-Ghantan - Land of Ghanat. Ghanat is fully able to traverse all these spiritual regions and also to enter the material world.

The material world houses the bodies and mind of human beings, but the soul is located in Jūnan ā-Ghantan, where it is fragmented and dispersed across the regions. Leading a righteous life in the material world will lead to reuniting the souls in the spiritual plain, acquiring a similar Nirvana-like state like the one in Tushātism. United souls are absorbed by Ghanat, ceasing to exist as individuals but gaining new life as a part of the only God.
