# Religion | ||
|
||
Religion, as it has always done throughout Human History, changes and weaves through the patterns of society, surviving for countless | ||
centuries, but never the same. Religion in the 26th Century is no different, a completely different era for the various churches and | ||
faiths of Earth, and a new one for the religions that have formed on the various colonies under Human control. | ||
|
||
## The Old World Faiths | ||
|
||
It can generally assumed that most, if not all of the major faiths of 20th Century Humanity have survived the last several hundred | ||
years into the current day, especially so with Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism who were by far the largest religions of the | ||
time. Many other old-age religions of human history have survived through the centuries but not to the same degree as the Big Four. | ||
|
||
### Christianity | ||
|
||
Christianity exists much in the same way that it did long ago- Splintered all around by the various different ideas and faiths that | ||
make it up from Catholicism to Orthodox Christianity to Mormonism, and even the new-age beliefs such as Joshuaism and Heterodox Christianity. | ||
|
||
Today, the largest percentage of Christians (36%) follow the New Roman Catholic Church, named so due to its new location in Vaticano | ||
Seguendo, in South America. The Current Pope is Pope Leo XXI, who became as such in 2558. Since Humanity expanded into the stars, | ||
Christianity splintered more and more into various sects of the different branches, all with different ideas on how to move forward into | ||
the Age of Exploration. Today, there’s thousands of different branches of the faith just in the Inner Systems of Sol Gov. | ||
|
||
### Islam | ||
|
||
Islam survived into the Modern Day burned and scathed over many years of war and conflict in the Resource Wars of the Hunger Years. | ||
Islam came into the Twenty Second Century as strong as its been since the high of the Ottoman Empire, though it would not last into the | ||
26th Century. Most of Islam today represents much of what Sunni faith has for centuries, but there are movements to make parts of the | ||
faith more moderate and accepting to outsiders, specifically xenobiological life looking to join Islam. | ||
|
||
### Hinduism and Buddhism | ||
|
||
Hinduism exists much to the same way it did hundreds of years ago, as does Buddhism. Noted for their more traditionalist ways of | ||
thinkings, followers of Hinduism are known for their conservative approach to xenobiological life and interstellar | ||
|
||
## Other Faiths | ||
|
||
Besides the major faiths, many others have developed over the years on different colonies. Everything from a belief in the power of | ||
technology to the belief that we are all the children of the Skrell and they are our true masters. Almost everything is out there, | ||
though some faiths are more dangerous and practiced only in the fringes of society, away from the eyes of Sol Gov. |

# The Arts of the 26th Century | ||
|
||
As Humanity has progressed through the ages, so has its culture. From the early days of pottery to the dimensional surrealism of today- from the classical music of 18th century Europe to the so called "Post-Electradelic," the arts have changed and turned as years have gone by. Here, you can see what's changed since the 21st Century. | ||
|
||
## Music | ||
|
||
As humanity has progressed, so as the way it fills leisure activities. Beginning with the 21st Century and on into the 22nd Century, | ||
music expansion fell with the problems that fell upon humanity. Music became darker, and heavier- Synthetic sounds mixed with the | ||
brass and wood of older music to create a "Post-Industrial" style, with what can only be described in 21st Century terms as "Nine Inch | ||
Nails meets Bob Dylan." As time went by, Jazz became more popular, and started to involve synthetic sounds as well. Bass music, | ||
electronic drums, off-beat patterns with static helped fill the already insane patterns of Jazz Music which rose to new prominence in | ||
the 22nd Century. The popular music of the early 21st Century had blended with other styles, such as Reggae and Hip Hop, and Pop, | ||
into "Reg-Pop," a slow, chill beat wave of vocal harmonizing and good vibes. Ancient hits such as "Bars on Mars" and "Bring Me In, | ||
Space Captain" became famous from this period. | ||
|
||
Country music died out as time went by, and was mostly replaced by a revamped Blues sound into the later days after the 21st Century, | ||
and then, it was really only heard in backwater areas, dying almost entirely in the Urban World. | ||
|
||
The 24th Century saw the rise of "Post-Stat," a strange mix of the 23rd Century's Static Jazz, and psychedelic rock. Reg-Pop was still | ||
very popular, but New Wave Metal was taking the cities by storm. The historic band, Three Seraphs, led this wave and became one of the | ||
best selling bands of all time, even surpassing the famous Beatles of the 20th Century. | ||
25th Century music began to bend other senses into it, and the Electronic Music was its forefront. Electradelic, a mixture of "EDM" | ||
and "Psychedelic" was new and exciting, and music was changing majorly with this. No longer was it just a hearing stimulus, but some | ||
concerts even had the senses of touch, or taste, or sight change with the music to create a new way of sound. | ||
|
||
26th Century continued this Sensory Music, as it exploded into other genres as well, the Metallic Synthetic (26th Century's popular | ||
style of Metal music) became infamous for its "Death Vibrations" which have been known to cause seizures and heart attacks from the | ||
intensive feelings that are released. Post-Electradelic and Funk-Punk were popular too, with the "Indie" sounds of Reds (a new version | ||
of Blues music that focused on lyrics of sex and violence) was becoming popular, but also criticized for the brutal imagery that was | ||
produced. Ambient Metal is also very popular, as well as Unathi Metal. AM is all about the "ambient" quality of environment with the | ||
heavy strength of Metal. UM mixes the Metal music of Earth with Unathi culture, and is usually seen in fringe societies. The "Ravaged | ||
Unathi" UM band is quite popular in this environment and is also at the forefront of Unathi Rights issues in the stellar community, a | ||
movement that is often compared to the Black Panther movement in the 20th Century. | ||
|
||
## Television and Film | ||
|
||
Though very popular in the 21st Century, TV had started to die out mostly by the 22nd Century, replaced with Holographic Shows and a | ||
resurgence of Theatre. Movies were still popular, but as the same, Holographic was on the verge of society. This became the general | ||
trend for the next century too, with it growing more and more complex. Eventually it became so detailed, you could sit in a room with | ||
a Holographic movie playing and feel like you're in the world, even feeling the environment somewhat. | ||
|
||
By the 26th Century, Holographic Media had started to stagnate, replaced by a more VR type of experience, or stimulus directly to the | ||
brain known as "Memory Flicks." | ||
|
||
## Writing | ||
|
||
Just as the 21st Century was primarily focused on scifi writings, the 26th century went back in time to the Medieval era for its | ||
popular writings. The future has been reached, and people want to see the life of the past, before planets and star systems were | ||
explored. Fictional stories taking place in the ancient War of the Roses in England, the Punic Wars of Rome and Carthage, and other | ||
far away events shape the Novels of the modern day. The writing styles of the Beat Generation and the Lost Generation of the 20th | ||
Century are also highly used by such authors as Zach Lynch, Ss'iek Jareek, and Monterm Blackheart (the winners of the Chaucer Awards | ||
for the last three years, in order). | ||
|
||
## Art | ||
|
||
Shapism, the dominant form of art in the 21st Century, had died out by the 26th Century, and had been replaced with more digital | ||
projections. "Neo-Impressionism" as it is called, become dominant in the 23rd and 24th Centuries, itself being a return to the | ||
Impressionistic styles of the 19th Century, but of the modern inventions of space flight, new technology, and alien life. | ||
|
||
Romantic Expressionism was moving to the front of Art by the 25th Century, a mixture between some Abstract qualities, and Romantic | ||
qualities (colors defining the art rather than shape, basically, and being more abstract than structured). This also came with the | ||
beginning of the Dimensional Art, where paintings have an actual depth to them. By the 26th Century, Dimensional Surrealism was the | ||
main form of painting that was being created, a return to the art style of Salvador Dali, and Max Ernst, as well as the cultural | ||
movement that they grew from in the early 20th Century. |
