Activism (religion)

Activism, is a religion encouraging the ability to take an active role and change things, rather than staying passive and doing nothing. Belief in Activism was a major force in Dalesian politics. Activism is one of the main causes of the great Interplanetary Invasions. Activism was founded in the 3400s, but was only formalised as a religion in 4061.

History
The ideas of Activism first started to spread in the 3400s. The first recorded incident of Activism occurred when Manaque threatened to invade Hepsaptigahin because Hepsantigahin was inactive on November 8, 9:50, 4042.

Activism was formalised as a religion by the government of Jiangbei on May 24, 4061. Yorokobinan historians helped to discover and research the origins of Activism and their main beliefs on March 18, 4062.

Beliefs
Activism encourages followers to take an active role and change things and the world, rather than staying passive and doing nothing. Activism strongly discourages corruption and laziness, and believes that apathy and boredom must be dealt with. Inactivity is discouraged and followers are encouraged to develop their physical, mental, and social health.

Activism also encourages Activist countries to ally with other active countries, not necessarily countries that follow Activism, and to declare war and subjugate inactive countries. This means that Activism is the cause of many wars.

Influence
Activism is the official religion of Jiangbei and was founded by Jiangbei on May 24, 4061.

Many wars were declared because of Activism. The Aziayn War was declared by an Activist government on June 26, 4061 and is the first known official Activist Holy War. This war was declared by Jiangbei and Nordt against Aziayn, which was an inactive country. However, that is merely the first war to be declared in the name of Activism. Since the 4040s, many wars have been declared because the defending nation was inactive.

The laws of the RAC universe follow Activism. Inactive nations are purged frequently and die due to their inactiveness.
