Arya refers to the sum of the philosophical-religious system practiced in Aryez. The term in somewhat overlapping with Arsahan but whereas that refers to all Aryezi thought, this focuses more on religious-philosophical and ethical thought. It excludes to a large extent scientific and legal thought and some philosophical thought. In essence it forms the core psyche of Aryezi thought. It consists of:
The organized religions of:
1. Aralan (Eshanarash): Organized monotheistic religion that believes in life after death in some sort of heaven, angels, and good and evil.
2. Aryenil (Shannarash): Organized religion which believes in salvation, redemption, and a savior being and that one god can be manifested in several different ways.
3. Valaha: An imperial polytheistic cult.
The semi-organized religions of:
1. Aryeduxaha: Nature worshiping religion that believes the world is alive with spirits.
The Philosophies (some of which are somewhat religious in nature) of:
1. Anrel: Panentheistic and mystic philosophy.
2. Tolyaha: Based on the philosophies of J.R.R Tolkien. Based on hope, sacrifice, and righteous action. Also includes elements of destiny.
3. Pilya: Based on the philosophies of Akhilesh Pillalamarri.
4. Martaha: Based on the philosophy expressed in "A Song of Ice and Fire" by G.R.R.Martin. Power-based and Machiavellian.
The Ethical-Moral Codes:
1. Ade: A code of societal interactions based on respect, harmony, and duty.
2. Arha: A personal code of honor, emphasizing noble and honorable actions.
(A total of 10).
Most Aryezi do not exclusively follow one religion; most Aryezi people do not believe in just one exclusive religion; instead they incorporate the features of numerous Aryezi philosophies and religions in their daily lives in a process known as syncretism.
These beliefs often complement each other and most people follow a mix of all of them. Very few people follow just one exclusively. As expected from this mix, there are numerous variations of many beliefs but most beliefs agree on some sort of afterlife and some sort of supreme spirit.
Most Aryezi, when asked their religion, will answer Arya.
