-====== Unitarian ======
-The unitarian religion is one of the newest religions, though it's roots go back into pre-history.  It is also one of the fastest growing religions, particularly among libertarian-oriented cultures.
-===== Basic Philosophy =====
-Unitarians worship a monotheistic God, and depending on the sect downplay or dismiss the existence of the gods of ancient times.  The Unitarian God is omnipresent, omniscient, and is usually considered to be the source of all that is good in the world.  Many sects consider it a worshiper's duty to follow a strict moral code in order to emulate The Deity, and artistic or other creative pursuits are seen as particularly virtuous.
-Unitarians also believe in a polar opposite of God that personifies evil or non-existence.  While there is no universal name for this being he is sometimes called "The Void" or just "The Evil One."
-===== Organization and Divisions =====
-==== Agathonian ====
-Agathonian Unitarians consider God to be all-good, but add another aspect that states that God is also the ultimate source of free will in the universe.  It was this belief that is credited with allowing Agathos to swiftly convert to Unitarianism from their ancient [[.:Eleytherian]] religion.
-==== Orthodox ====
-Orthodox Unitarians follow the "original" belief that the ancients gods of good were merely aspects of The Deity.  The similarly believe that evil gods were just aspects of The Void.
