'''Ranubism''' is a religion founded in late 2012 or early 2013 by citizens of Danzilona in [[CivCraft 1.0|Civcraft 1.0]]. When [[CivCraft 2.0|2.0]] started, the religion carried over, and its followers reestablished the Church in the holy city of the DPNCCR (Danzilonan Polo-Norse Commune of the Church of Ranubis), north of [[New Danzilona]]. Followers of Ranubism are called "Disciples of Ranubis." The Head Priest is [[wingnut4096]]. Much of the information about Ranubism can be found in the in-game book he wrote called "The Book of Ranubis."

== Beliefs ==
 
Ranubism is the belief that the Egyptian god Ra created all life, and the god Anubis created the Earth. Both gods had sincethen comecame together in perfect harmony to become Ranubis.
 
Disciples believe that every single thing in the world was created by either Ra or Anubis.<ref name=":0">Book of Ranubis by [[Wingnut4096]] https://civbooks.github.io/books/Civcraft_2/wingnut4096/Book_of_Ranubis.html</ref> To thank them for their marvelous natural achievements, such as lightning strikes, it is common for a disciple to shout &quot;Praise Ranubis!&quot;
 
Disciples also believe Ranubism to be the one and only true faith and thus reject religious syncretism.
 
=== Theological History ===
 
According to the Book of Ranubis, in the year 146 C.E., the great prophet Peter Fletcher hadrevealed ato vision.the Theworld visiona wasprophecy that the Egyptian gods Ra and Anubis would come together to form Ranubis, and the world would enter perfect harmony.<ref name=":0" /> Many centuries later, wingnut4096 and many of his friends believed in Peter and founded the current Church of Ranubis to help spread the one true faith in the modern day.
 
Thanks to wingnut and other disciples, Ranubism became a major religion of Danzilona in 1.0 and especially in New Danzilona in 2.0. At its prime, there were 15-20 disciples of Ranubis.
Line 28 ⟶ 51:
=== Evidence ===
 
Though the studies have not yet been released to the public, disciples boast that Ranubism has been proven to be correct. ThereAccording to the Disciples, there is no series of events that could lead to anything other than Ranubis. Therefore, it is impossible that other religions -which are founded only on belief- can be correct. Ranubism is the one and only true faith.
 
=== Fiskidagurinn ===
 
Fiskidagurinn is the name of an alleged deity that would exist alongside Ranubis. The existence of such an entity has been in modern times formally rebuked by the Church of Ranubis,{{Citation needed}} and is therefore not considered canon.
Apart from Ranubis, there is another god that helps watch over the Earth. That god's name is Fiskidagurinn.
 
That being said, the story goes that Fiskidagurinn is a spirit that rested for many years in a cottage on the archipelago of Banished off the coast of [[New Danzilona|NDZ]]. Fiskidagurinn, who was a devout disciple of Ranubis, had a vision of the great blue sea. He realized that this vision came from Ranubis, and that it was Ranubis calling upon him to be the god of the sea. Fiskidagurinn is considered equal to Ranubis by discples, though, without Ranubis, there would be no Fiskidagurinn. Praise Ranubis!
 
== Decline ==
 
Many of the founders and original disciples, including wingnut, went inactive after the summer of 2014. Ranubism was still a major religion of the Danzilonan Federation and surrounding areas, with ~5-10 active disciples by the end of 2.0, but Ranubism was past its prime. The holy city of the DPNCCR was demoted from a federal city of the Danzilonan Federation to a territory of New Danzilona in September 2014.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2fkxva/results_creation_of_the_dpnccr_territory/</ref>
 
== Revival ==
However, no matter how inactive the Church is, Ranubism will still be alive as the one true faith of Civcraft.
<blockquote>" ''PRAISE RANUBIS!'' " - common shout amongst Disciples of Ranubis</blockquote>After many years of dormancy following wing's decision to quit Civ after the end of 2.0, wing decided to rejoin Danzilona for its upcoming iteration on [[CivMC]] in March 2022. wing began discussing the prospects of a special relationship between the [[Free Danzilonan Republic]] and a newly-revived Church of Ranubis, resulting in the [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/tm1l6r/discussion_official_protections_for_past_and/</ref> This revival was rumored to include a massive expansion to the religion's lore, including the addition of the extensive Second Testament of the Book of Ranubis.
 
'''PRAISE RANUBIS!'''
 
After CivMC started on June 2, 2022, wing was largely inactive for its first month, but he returned in early July, began building the main site of the Church of Ranubis within the FDR, and recruited two new disciples.
