'''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."

Line 39:
Ranubism is the belief that the god Ra created all life, and the god Anubis created the Earth. Both gods then came 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 "Praise Ranubis!"
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, the great prophet Peter Fletcher revealed to the world a prophecy that the 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.

===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}}
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.

==Revival==
<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,
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.
