I was going through the Faction page on the wiki (all but one of the Minor Factions now have quickie writeups, BTW) when I remembered that there were still parts of the Senshi page that weren't written. So I took a look at what wasn't there. (I patronize a very good optometrist.) One of those sections is "Religion," which currently has only the template boilerplate text:
My first thought here was "well, they're not Jedi or Juraians - they don't have a ready-made fictional religion."
Then I remembered I had listed Oh My Goddess! in the example list of Magical Girlfriend shows that the Senshi take inspiration from.
Then I remembered the Interdimensional Incursion Incident. Which included Skuld.
So the OMG Fen in Fenspace know full well that - somewhere in the multiverse - the religious cosmology shown in that source material isn't fictional. Which means there's a small pocket of religious activity in this subfandom and elsewhere in Fenspace that takes its tenets from the manga, anime, or both.
But I'm drawing a blank on what this religion would be like. I can't even come up with a decent name for it that doesn't step on the toes of the neo-pagans, and "Belldandy wouldn't want that to happen."
Hence the request for crowdsourcing. Any suggestions, anyone?

Quote:(TO BE DEVELOPED: if there's an official religion, give it a quick description; otherwise, discuss what religions if any are practiced by noticeable groups in the faction)
