| Article 10-Religion | ||
| Canon 1979 | ||
| Religion is a particular administered system of beliefs, faith or worship of one or more gods defined by one or more sacred objects, stories, scriptures, rituals or observances. | ||
 |
||
| Canon 1980 | ||
| A Religion is distinguished from a Cult by three primary tests of fact: Prevalence of Occult within its Dogma, Prevalence of Anti-Social and Extremist Dogma and Prevalence of Cretinism amongst followers, as opposed to Initiates. | ||
|
||
| Canon 1981 | ||
| Any Religion, no matter what age, that demonstrates a high prevalence of occult, anti-social and extremist dogma as well as a high level of cretinism through deliberate exploitation, concealment and exclusion of followers by religious leaders may be properly called a Cult. | ||
|
||
| Canon 1982 | ||
| By definition, for a belief system to be considered a Religion, it must assert six (6) fundamental presumptions: (1) The existence of one or more supernatural beings; and (2) That followers are less than these supernatural beings; and (3) Contact has been made between the supernatural beings and one or more men or women considered unique from all other men and women; and (4) This contact is “proven” by the existence of one or more sacred objects; and (5) The administration and officials of the religion represent the one, true and only successors to those who first received divine instruction and founded the religion; and (6) The administrators and officials of the religion have the right to decide what is pleasing, what is not and if anyone should be excluded or punished for failing certain rules. | ||
|
||
| Canon 1983 | ||
| If a particular belief system does not presume all of the six (6) fundamental presumptions then such a belief system cannot properly be called a Religion. | ||
|
||
| Canon 1984 | ||
| By definition of the meaning of Religion, UCADIA cannot be properly considered a Religion, but above all Religions. | ||
|
||
| Canon 1985 | ||
| Any claim by any person, aggregate or entity that UCADIA itself is a Religion is automatically a false and deliberately fraudulent claim by definition of the meaning of Religion. | ||
