Religion and Philosophy in the Third Space Age

Noncanon.

Humanism

Tersiism

Dr. Tersi's philosophy advocates 'Genetic Meritocracy' - the establishment of a caste system where the rulers are transgenes with superior mental faculties, and exercise benevolent dictatorship. It predictably never gained wide traction, but sympathisers left on a number of longshots during the 2060s and 2070s, and remained prevalent in obscurity among several populations of the well-to-do such as those who founded the Kanon colony. Dr. Tersi unashamedly used monarchic imagery in his advocacy, a tendency reflected in surprisingly many of the governments based on his theories.

Christianity

Minor and Extinct Sects

Reshanki Christianity

Reshanki Christianity holds that the End of Days is at hand and the Antichrist has appeared in the form of the Posthumans, who travelled back in time to prevent the rapture. It was founded on Corregidor during the early 2140s and never achieved a very large following, but the (extremely rich) founder's big-budget televangelism campaigns and public clashes with posthuman worshippers gave it a media presence above its weight. Mr. Reshanki retired to his ranch during the 2150s and has refused all interviews since, and the faith has no practicing worshippers remaining.

Hinduism

Still trucking in India.

Minor Faiths and Philosophies

Minkowski Transcendentalism

Minkowski Transcendentalism advocates the abandonment of gravity and sin for holy spacebound life, so that the soul can be purified and escape the corrupt material world. It is localised almost exclusively to the Minkowski system, where it is the dominant and state religion. Primary injunctions warn against malice, greed and pride.

Extinct Faiths and Philosophies

Kirnaism

Kirnaism preaches that all major prophets were posthumans who travelled back in time.
