Culture: What should our belief system be?
A tie-in with the Culture Club thread.
Definition of terms:
Polytheism-- Belief in very many gods (Greece, Rome, Egypt, Hinduism)
Oligotheism-- Belief in a few gods (Persia) (BTW- is "oligotheism" a word?)
Monotheism-- Belief in one god (Christianity, Judaism, Islam)
Nontheism-- No belief in gods/belief in no gods. (Could allow for worship of individuals, i.e. Bokononism)
Vote 
Edit (again): The top belief system will be used. A later poll will be posted after this one closes to determine the pantheon of gods (if any).

I really don't see how this is even remotely relevant.

I wanted ancestor worship. But I guess Polytheism is close enough.

Do we have a belief system already ? Maybe we should wait for ceremonial burial before we elaborate one...
For the sake of immersion, I'd say we follow our tech tree, starting pantheists, then polytheists, then monotheists (with the Banana as our omniscient god). What do you think ?

By 'nontheism' do you mean 'atheism'?

Why be a banana-hater? I'm with Time on this one, monobananaism. 
"Nontheism" is a bit vague. It should be split between atheism and agnosticism imo.

Screw this culture isn't something that is voted on. It's something that is written. That's right people make up your culture who needs consensus. 
I will abide by the poll and give praises to the banana if thats what wins.

Now that I've read the thread instead of just spamming it. Spiffor is so right how can we be monotheistic before the advance. It's silly, It's wrong, It's just not Civ. It's CTP 
I actually like ctp

I for one will welcome all right thinking worshipers of Jupiter to share my hearth. Regardless of the results of polls such as these.

This is a democracy, so each individual may pick his own theism, or lack thereof. I voted for all of the options. Disestablishmentarianism (to use that behemoth of a word again) is a good concept from my view.

Yeah, but I think this is to decide the 'official' religion of whatever we're called.

Polytheism allows for some very creative mythology, so I vote that.

Cool, I just put monotheism up by one.....
As the Banana is my witness, we shall overcome those bigoted polytheists and there god of the day mentality.
Interesting, if such a vote were to come up in the US, Roman Catholic would win, since the Protestants are split into so many churches. Yet only one Roman Catholic President.....

What about animism? I like the worshipping of the ancestors also, though I don't know what it's called.
I don't think that oligotheism is a word either...
