Celestism

Celestism is a Christian faith in After the End.

In-game description
Celestes believe that the spirit of Christ descended upon a series of local messianic figures from Southern Brazil, who guided His people to purity in the New World and against the deviant heretics who’d wish them exterminated. Celestes worship many messianic figures, such as José Maria, Teodora and Maria Rosa, amongst others. They believe that these figures were blessed with divine visions, and thus have been chosen by divine providence to lead them in the so called “celestial communities”. Celestes often take inspiration from Old World traditions such as chivalry and chastity, shunning earthly pleasures and inflicting heavy punishment on deviants and enemies of the faith. Nevertheless, they often mix esoteric and mystic elements into their Christian doctrine, and Celestes tend to greatly respect healers and miracle workers."
