Netjerism

Netjerism, or the Netjeri Faith, is the largest religion in Saturania, modeled after the ancient religion of the Egyptian Ages. However, Netjerism is not as polytheistic as its predecessor in the main branches of the faith, but has more of a monotheistic sense in that all the deities of the ancient Egyptian pantheon are manifestations of the same primordial energy. It has two main subbranches known as the Church of Atum and Atenism.

Its main symbol is the ankh cross.

Church of Atum
The Church of Atum is the unorthodox subbranch of the Netjeri Faith, but with less worldwide followers. It is distinctively more conservative and spiritual, with many "cult-like" aspects to their congregation. Their prime belief is that the Atum's decreed Arising is imminent, and that only the souls of the faithful and loyal to Atum will transform into akh, eternal souls in the Fields of Aaru. Therefore, although their congregations are mostly private, their goal is evangelization and preaching to save as many souls as possible.

Their spiritual leaders are titled Elders, who are organized in a hierarchical scheme.

They clandestinely joined forces with the Smaiu because they have the same goal to save humanity, but while the Atumians do it with faith, the Smaiu with practice. Only important Atumian families and Elders are Smaiu in order to keep the Smaiu as a secretive and hidden gathering.

Atenism
The Atenist Faith was founded before the Age of Tutankhamun by his father, Akhenaten. It defined the Amarna Period, transforming the nation religion from polytheistic to monotheistic. The only god of the Faith is Aten, the sun disc.

In the modern era, Atenism is defined by being strictly monotheistic, with Aten as its divinity. Their religious practices are very similar to the ones of mainstream Netjerism. It has the least amount of practitioners and is mostly common in the south of Eastern Saturania, especially in rural areas.
