Children of the Cathedral

Beliefs

 * 1) The nuclear weapons that scorched the earth were holy, for they destroyed the evil and decadence of the Old World (see United States of America and China for details). Commonly described as justice, they were called the Holy Flame or Holy Fires, as a metaphor for the death of the old world and the beginning of the new.
 * 2) Human nature is inherently flawed, making humans spiteful, violent, and stupid. This leads to a self-perpetuating propagation of evil and greed, leading to fragmentation and conflict.
 * 3) As such, the rebirth of the scoured planet could be accomplished by accepting the Master (the second Holy Flame) as the Master of All. By following his light, replacing selfishness with selflessness, and cleansing the unfaithful, the Nexus of Rebirth would be reached, bringing rebirth to the planet and allowing humanity to thrive. It would be the unification of all people under a single banner, regardless of their race, gender, or other personal traits - and the elimination of the unfaithful from the world. This Unity would elevate the Children to a higher level of life.
