-Casetheism is a nontheistic religion created in September of 2017 centered around free-will and attaining a state of enlightenment. Free-will is categorized as the belief of human beings controlling the choices they make along with their futures - not a supreme being. Instead of spiritual focus being on deities it's shifted to virtues, improvement, and a balancing point referred to as Khi (pronounced 'kai'). There are two main denominations, Soleistic and Myriatic Casetheism.

Beliefs
Casetheism would, like Buddhism, be considered more of a religious philosophy than a religion. With that being said, although it is nontheistic, worshiping a deity is possible. However it must be acknowledged that they're not paramount in your life or have control over your actions.

Primarily a path of finding serenity in one's self is sought out, along with having a positive impact on the world around us. It is believed to be easiest attainable through Khi, following the Beliefs of Ether, and avoiding the three forms of blindness.

Idyllium
Idyllium could be considered the Greatest Enlightenment state known to mankind. It is a time when a person finds solace within their identity, mind, and body. It could be described as an absolutely blissful form of paradise on Earth. This is a finite state that once started - only ends in death. This can be entered by anyone regardless of age or past actions.

The Afterlife
It is believed to be impossible to know for certain what happens after death. However, different opinions and views are welcomed. But at it's core there are none built into it.

Branches
There are two basic branches of Casetheism. That being Soleistic and Myriatic. Although many of the core beliefs are the same, most of the disagreements come down to the outlook on Idyllium, Khi, and general behavior.

Myriatic
It is believed that there are an infinite number of ways to achieve Khi, and thus, an infinite number of ways to reach Idyllium.
