In a religion-based social structure, an individual's social status and happiness depend entirely on his contribution and loyalty to a religious organization. This kind of society is called the “sacred order”, and its core doctrine believes that the meaning of human existence lies in achieving unity with the gods through pious faith and selfless dedication. The following is a detailed description of this society： ### 1. **The supremacy of religious organizations** -**The Holy See and the priestly class**: Society is ruled by the “Holy See”, and the Holy See is led by the highest priest (called the “oracle”), who is regarded as the spokesperson of the gods. The priestly class is the core of society, responsible for interpreting oracles, conducting rituals, and managing social affairs. The status of priests is above all else, and their authority cannot be challenged. -**Religious rituals and codes**: The laws and moral codes of society are based entirely on religious teachings. All laws are derived from the "Sacred Code”, which is considered to be a direct revelation from the gods. Religious rituals are an important part of social life, and daily prayers, regular sacrifices, and holiday celebrations are obligations that everyone must abide by. ### 2. **Social rank and personal status** -**Measurement of contribution and loyalty**: An individual's social status depends entirely on his contribution and loyalty to a religious organization. Contributions can include material donations, participation in religious activities, dissemination of doctrines, or service to the Holy See. Loyalty is manifested by observing doctrine, participating in rituals, and obeying the instructions of the priests. -**Hierarchical division**: Society is strictly divided into different levels. The highest level is the priestly class, followed by the "devout"-ordinary believers who have made great contributions to religious organizations. Further down are “ordinary believers”, who maintain the basic functioning of society through daily religious practices. At the bottom are “heretics” or “unbelievers”, who are regarded as marginalized people in society and have little rights and status. ### 3. **Happiness and salvation** -**Definition of happiness**: In this kind of society, happiness is not equivalent to material wealth or worldly pleasures, but is directly related to the individual's spiritual realm and loyalty to the gods. True happiness is considered to be the salvation of the soul through pious faith and selfless dedication. -**The road to salvation**: Everyone must be redeemed through their own efforts. The way of salvation includes strict observance of doctrine, active participation in religious activities, and contribution to the Holy See. Those who are considered not loyal enough or contribute enough will face soul punishment and may even be expelled from society. ### 4. **Education and Culture** -**Religious education**: The education system is completely controlled by the Holy See, and all schools have religious education as their core. Children have been instilled in doctrine since they were young, learning how to achieve happiness through faith and dedication. Secular knowledge is regarded as secondary and is only allowed to be imparted if it does not violate doctrine. -**Culture and art**: Culture and art also fully serve religion. All literature, music, painting and architecture have the theme of expressing worship and praise to the gods. Any art form that has nothing to do with religion or is considered blasphemous is prohibited. ### 5. **Economy and resource allocation** -**Religious economy**: The economic system is centered on religion, and all economic activities must conform to doctrine. The accumulation of wealth is regarded as disrespect to the gods, so personal wealth is usually donated to the Holy See or used for religious activities. The Holy See controls most of the resources of society and allocates them according to individual contributions and loyalty. -**Resource allocation**: The basis for resource allocation is personal religious contribution and loyalty. Those who have made great contributions to the Holy See will get more resources and social status, while those who are considered not loyal enough can only get the most basic life security. ### 6. **Social control and punishment** -**Religious judgment**: Any violation of doctrine will be severely punished. The Holy See has a "Religious Tribunal”, which is responsible for judging and punishing those who are considered disloyal or heretical. Methods of punishment include public confession, confiscation of property, social exclusion, and even exile or execution. -**Social supervision**: Everyone in society has the responsibility to supervise others. Any discovery of disloyal or doctrinal behavior by others must be reported to the Holy See. This mechanism of mutual supervision ensures the stability of society and the purity of religion. ### 7. **External relations** -**Religious expansion**: The society of the sacred order is open to the outside world, but the premise is that the outside world must accept its religious teachings. The Holy See will send missionaries to other societies to try to spread their faith to more people. Any society that refuses to accept doctrine will be regarded as an enemy and may face a religious war. -**Heresy and tolerance**: Society has a very tolerant attitude towards those who do not accept doctrine. Heretics are regarded as a threat to society and must be quarantined or expelled. Only in rare cases will heretics be allowed to survive on the margins of society, but they will never be able to obtain true social status and happiness. ### 8. **The relationship between individuals and collectives** -**Collective supremacy**: In this kind of society, the interests of the collective are always higher than the interests of the individual. Individual happiness and salvation can only be achieved in the collective, so everyone must work hard for the collective religious goals. Individual desires and pursuits are regarded as a threat to collective interests and must be suppressed. -**Sacrifice and dedication**: Individuals are encouraged to make sacrifices and contributions to religious organizations.
