Theological

Places formal religious institutions, dogmatic belief systems, divinity, and the nature of the sacred at the center of its worldbuilding.

The thrill of faith tested by cosmic anomalies and empirical evidence. The struggle to reconcile ancient scriptures and creation myths with the vast, indifferent universe and the potential for artificial divinity or alien gods.
