Faithion is the Helian Way doctrine of the unity of the gods: that the deities of the world's pantheons – Helios, Zeus/Jupiter, Astraea, Mithra and others – are faces of one luminous order, and that devotion offered in good faith to any of them is not lost but gathered into a single whole.
Doctrine
- One light, many faces. The gods are many in name and story, one in source.
- No tradition is an enemy. Faithion forbids contempt for other religions, including the Catholic tradition from which the Latin Mass Society's heritage comes.
- Unity is a task. The gods are understood as reconciling over time; believers cooperate in that work through ritual, study and service (see Helian training paths).
- Unity points outward. The united pantheon is linked with the Ten-galaxy expansion and the Return of Astraea.
Sources and mainstream view
Faithion resembles older ideas such as ancient syncretism and interpretatio graeca/romana (Tacitus, Germania 43), Neoplatonic henology (Plotinus, Enneads VI.9) and modern religious pluralism (John Hick, An Interpretation of Religion, 1989). It is a doctrine of faith, not an empirical claim.
