| − | + | When in the Course of human events, it becomes a necessity for one people to cut the political ties which have bound them with another, and to assume among the powers of this Galaxy a separate and equal station to which the Laws of their Creator entitle them, a respect to the sovereign right of these people for independence demands that they should declare the causes which implore them to cut these binds. | |

| + | Among the truths of the universe, foremost is that all men are endowed by God with certain indisputable Rights, foremost upon these being the right of all men to Liberty. | ||
| − | + | Whensoever any Form of Government should seek to hold back these Rights, it becomes the Duty of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, forging its foundation upon these principles and organizing its powers in an order which will maintain their Safety and Liberty. Sense would dictate, then, that should any Form of Government fail to maintain the Safety and Liberty of their people, that it should become the Duty of the people to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they have become accustomed. | |

| − | + | Such is the Right and Duty of these Colonies; such is now the necessity which demands them to abolish those political ties that have bound them. The present Sol Assembly would deny certain Rights of the people of these Colonies, doing so in the pursuit of maintaining the Happiness not of these people, but of unknown visitors of unknown intent, and to establish an absolute Tyranny over these Colonies. | |
| − | + | At every chance given to right this Injustice to the people of these Colonies, We have Pleaded for Rectification with only respect and humility: Our repeated Plea has been answered only by dismissal. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | We, therefore, the Representatives of the Gilgamesh Colonial Confederation, in Summit, Assembled, appealing only to God for the probity of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the sovereign People of these Colonies, formally publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and should be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Terran Commonwealth or to the Sol Assembly, and that all political connection between them and the Sol Central Government, is and should be entirely dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have the full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and hold all other Rights which Independent States can, and should do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to this Confederation our Lives, and our Faith. | |

| − | + | During the century following the disbanding of the Terran Commonwealth, academics have noted a peculiar trend within the society of the Terran Colonial Confederation. Since shortly before their secession, and during the following century, the number of Terrans who self-identify as religious has been on a steady upward trend; this trend is especially visible in the Terran Orthodox church. Against the influence of a larger galactic trend towards secularization, religious belief has only continued to rise in the Colonial Confederation. | |
| − | ''' | + | '''Understanding secularism''' |
---- | ---- | ||
| − | + | Numerous theories have arisen to explain what statistics imply to be a religious resurgence. However, few understand the significance of the trend currently unfolding in the Colonial Confederation. To understand this trend, a cursory understanding of the opposing trend is necessary. The trend of secularization first began in the early 17th century, following industrialization, urbanization, and rationalization, as well as advances in science which were considered significant at the time. These factors, in turn, led to a slow trend towards secularism which continues into the modern day, despite stagnation during the past four centuries. However, the process of secularization does not imply that all, or even the majority of interest in religion has ceased. The trend is defined merely as the decrease in the bearing of religious institutions on the operation of a society. This fine distinction holds significant relevance in the interpretation of the Colonial Confederation's religious resurgence. | |
| − | ''' | + | '''The birth of Terran Orthodoxy''' |
---- | ---- | ||
| − | + | The Colonial Confederation's resurgence seems to have begun in earnest during and after the founding of the Confederation. However, the influence of Orthodoxy has been significant since the original colonization of the Gilgamesh system. A significant number of the colonists who had arrived on Terra were of Slavic origin, were considered deeply religious, and had elected to take the voyage in order to escape the increasing secularization of the Commonwealth. These factors led to the founding of the first churches on Terra, which practiced the Orthodox faith. During the organization of what historians call proto-Terran Orthodoxy, the reforms of Patriarch Nikon were discarded by many churches in favor of pre-Nikonian teachings. By the time the Commonwealth had contacted the Terran colonies for the first time, proto-Terran Orthodoxy had become deeply rooted in the social structure of the colonies. | |
| − | + | The subsequent boom in population among the colonies only served to further spread this religion. It was during this time that we began to see the first signs of true Terran Orthodoxy. By this point, the churches had become more organized and had maintained many pre-Nikonian teachings, further solidifying the presence of these teachings, and of early Terran Orthodoxy. It was also during this time that the Gilgamesh Orthodox Church officially split from Traditional Orthodoxy, putting their own Ecumenical Patriarchy into place. | |
| − | + | After the first contact with the Skrell by the Commonwealth, the colonies saw further separation from Sol as the Commonwealth focused its efforts and resources on diplomacy with the Skrell. During this time, the consensus among the colonies was that the Skrell were unwelcome visitors, and with the Gilgamesh Orthodox Church preaching Humanity as God's chosen, and the Skrell as a danger to Humanity, the resurgence of Orthodoxy began in earnest, fuelled by a disdain for the Commonwealth and the Skrell. During the official split from the Commonwealth, the Gilgamesh Orthodox Church was rebranded as the Terran Orthodox Church and adopted old calendarist traditions in order to further distance itself from Traditional Orthodoxy. | |
| − | ''' | + | '''The continued religious resurgence''' |
---- | ---- | ||
| − | + | Along with the emergence of Terran Orthodoxy, other religions began to see a resurgence in popularity as well; the newly-formed Confederation supporting fundamentalist ideals and distancing themselves from the Sol Central Government. Over the past century, this has translated into faith becoming deeply rooted in the social structures and culture of the Confederation. However, in recent years, this resurgence has begun to slow, and some church officials have even proposed a re-integration into Traditional Orthodoxy; although these proposals have been met with fierce resistance. While the Confederation's religious resurgence may be in its final days, it's doubtful that the schism between the Terran Orthodox Church and the Traditional Orthodox Churches will ever be repaired. | |
