I created the Boreanesian religion even further below. The way I see
it, some kind of belief system must have existed even before such
texts are written. So I started by creating a world view - an
understanding of the way the universe functions. Everything else has
then been based on that. So after this "world view" is done, then
texts could naturally follow.

Actually, Boreanesians don't have religious texts. Boreanesians
believe in the forces of nature (that includes "spirits") revolving
around each other to form a Cosmic rythme. Everything and every
detail in the daily lives of Boreanesians can be attributed to the
forces and the cosmic rythme. Its kept that simple that there is no
need for religious texts. In fact, the technical term for the belief
system Boreanesians could be deism/dualism/animism. So in addition
to the belief in natural forces, Boreanesians do not have religious
scriptures, temples, or institutions of any kind.

If anybody is interested in more details, I'll be glad to post the
COSMOLOGY, the ORIGIN MYTHS, the BURIAL PRACTICES, RITUALS, and any
other details of the Boreanesian belief system.
