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)
2. Aryenil (Shannarash)
3. Valaha
The semi-organized religions of:
1. Aryeduxaha
The Philosophies (some of which are somewhat religious in nature) of:
1. Anrel
2. Tolyaha
3. Pilyaha
The Ethical-Moral Codes:
1. Ade
2. Arha
(A total of 9).
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.
