Introduction:
The Kunaradi religion is older than written record but it is theorised that they were monotheistic at one point but a change occurred at some point and they became polytheistic. Kunaradi religion teaches that those who practise other faiths are still believers but in their own way and as such they should be allowed to do so as they are honouring the same gods but under different names and via different methods, their explanation is that all their gods have "shuffled names" in other languages and that the gods appreciate diversity and if the gods are not enraged by this, why should the Kunaradi people be? Atheists are also accepted as the lay people are taught that atheists do not believe in the gods but the gods gave them choice for a reason and again, if the gods are not enraged by it, why should they be? Kunaradi religion is diametrically opposed to the religious beliefs of the Dírma since there were pushes to not only differentiate themselves in terms of their religion by emphasising certain traits of it but also to be more accepting of atheism in the movement towards the left which was in an attempt to separate themselves politically, economically and socially from the Dírma.
God of Time, Change, Diversity and Equality:
Believed to be the cause of major historical events and the continued passage of time. This god holds no true form and is more akin to a representation of intangible forces than a god or deity in the traditional sense. It is believed that all the world was stagnant and unmoving until the one god from whom the Kunaradi believe all are descended, pondered upon things not remaining the same for eternity and this god was born in a part of its head at that moment with the one purpose of changing life, they saw a lack of variety and so they began the cycle of life, altering "The Seeds" of beings and having been born of the original god, they had access to the seed of the world itself and they changed that too to see what would happen, they take so much pleasure from changing things that they have never stopped since, hence the constant state of change we call life. Unfortunately their memory is not the best and they get so caught up in the joy of change that they forget what they changed in the past and that is why time only moves forwards, the god changes the universe but they cannot change it back.
God of Speech, Language, Knowledge and Learning:
The Kunaradi believe that this is a mischevious god, being born from the tongue of the original god, it developed a form of its own which it later spread across the world, people were unable to communicate and this god was convinced by the god of change who had recently allowed them to do so, to teach them how. The god eventually agreed and so it gave its spine to the Kunaradi, hence Tsuchi's strict word order. Its vertabrae are words, its ribs are grammar, its arms reach out and alter the languages around it, its legs upon a mountain where this god stands gave humans speech and now they collect the languages of the world for the god enjoys watching the languages develop over time.
