Line 55:

A relatively recent, polytheistic religion, it revolves around the belief in various gods and nature spirits, the most popular ones being "Floppa" and "Big Chungus", and encompass a number of rituals, esoteric philosophies, and "sacred mysteries". It relies heavily on esoteric ritual and religious chronicles, most of which is known to have been codified in several chapters of books and written texts, although most remain hidden to the public view.

The origin of Bunkurs Tenriism are hidden in obscurity. Some believe that it simply first arose from the founding of Bunkurs 13, while others argue that its roots lay far beyond Prospit. Some claim of Tenriism having roots in obscure, extinguished Far Northern cults such as "Stixist ~~Estoeriikan~~", or widespread Noob animist beliefs, with their worship of Big Floppa and Chungus, both animal beings. The official position of Bunkurs Tenriism however, is that Tenriism was "brought to the world through the first player" and claims to be the "Actual True and Legit Religion Ever", before being outnumbered by new religions in a process called "Gyyan" (decievement; fooling in Bunkurs speech). As such, followers of Tenriism usually talk of other religions as "paganism" to outright "falsehood".

The official position of Bunkurs Tenriism however, is that Tenriism was "brought to the world through the first player" and claims to be the "Actual True and Legit Religion Ever", before being outnumbered by new religions in a slow process called "Gyyan" (decievement; fooling in Bunkurs speech). As such, followers of Tenriism usually talk of other religions as "paganism" to outright "falsehood" and "kuffars".

A very syncretic religion, it is known to have absorbed several foreign deities into its pantheon as gods, the most notable and famous one being Amogus, the patron god of New Vegas. Various religious spaces were used in rituals by Tenriists, such as underground pools (described as bathtubs), although temples are becoming more frequently used for worship purposes. Drugs and alcohol (also known as "haram") are strictly banned in the religion.
