IV.   Faith

Theology is the fictional reasoning and argument concerning Divinity otherwise unrestricted by the rules of logic and reason. Therefore, Theology enables the formulation of law-like statements, including their interpretation and enforcement as law, without the necessary standards of fairness, logic and reason expected for secular law.

A Theology does not require acceptance in the existence of one or more supernatural entities, only the existence of a foundational argument concerning them. Therefore, Atheism, Scientism and Agnosticism are valid Theologies that reject the existence of a Divine Creator.

Laws derived from Theology are not necessarily constricted by truth.

Every valid Theology possesses a range of fundamental elements, namely:

(i) An association with one principle Cosmology, namely Atheology, Monotheology, Pantheology or Ucology; and

(ii) A central and foundational argument concerning the existence or non existence of deities, god(s) and supernatural beings; and

(iii) An association with one or more bodies of texts considered the most sacred scripture; and

(iv) An association with one or more revered prophets, usually those considered the authors of the texts considered sacred; and

(v) A form of arguments, justifications and methods by which the sacred texts and people are considered superior than others with similar or competing ideas; and

(vi) An association with one or more rituals or customs; and

(vii) A form of arguments and justifications for these particular rituals or customs.
