my post-christian, zizekian, lacanian take on fantasy religions for Hingsajagra
This conception of faith and religion comes from a long deep dive into the Philosophy of Religion, the formation of religion, and, sociopolitical philosophy. The formation of religion creates a sort of separation of religion from the rest of life, whereas other regions of the world consider religion to be intricately woven into their social and cultural mores. The Utter Islands, at the end of the world, begins to understand the nonduality of culture and religion as the social structures that once put up this separation crumble. Therefore, religion, political theory, social theory, and even science is raised to a single stage: the stage of Ideology.
Of course, all of this is not a thing universally agreed upon by all the philosophers across the vaunted Utter Islands. However, the categorization has become a useful lingua-franca to use and has risen to popularity in the end of the world, and is now being used by survivor-philosophers and ruin-savants to think of the most important question yet: what will the new world be?
