The Nowans, who speak Nova, have a religion at least for a while
longer.  I am giving very serious thought to removing it but am not
completely
decided.  The T=F4lte, who speak Feorran, have a polytheistic, animistic
religion.  It is centered around the malicious creator god, Gauku, who
created all the world's animals to praise and worship him.  The T=F4lte
worship Meorre, a rebellious spirit who actually created humans to=20
praise him in turn.  Meorre gave the gifts of fire and warmth, Gauku
is the god of cold and ice.  It helps to know as many do here already,
the T=F4lte are an aboriginal people of Antarctica.  I have a fairly long
Feorran religious text in preparation and with luck, will actually
finish it someday.

More details about both can be found in my conlang/conculture pages.
Start with the Nowapan Reference Handbook, and the Ethnography of the
T=F4lte.
