'''Thaerism''', also known as the '''Thaerist Faith''' is a [[wikipedia:Monotheism|monotheistic]] [[wikipedia:Religion|religion]] based on the teachings and wisdom of Thaer. Its adherents, known as Thaerists, believe in a single deity (Thaer), who passed on his teachings to the Prophets; Matilda, Eldwin and Tybalt. Through his guidance to life on [[Urth]] with prophets, it is taught that Thaer is all-existing and all-knowing. He is not depicted through incarnate being but through colour. It is one of the major world religions with over a billion worldwide followers with various branches such as '''Traditional Thaerism''', '''Reformist Thaerism''' (colloquially ''Valerian Thaerism''; ''Vaerism''), and '''[[Mauism]]''' in [[Polynesian Union|Greater Oan]] nations like [[the Oan Isles]] and Jus tribes in
Thaerism remains culturally diverse in the world. Its teachings do not conflict with culture and so over it's existence has seen a huge growth of following.

Today, mainland and insular branches of Thaerism are barely comparable. Some of these differences including belief in supernatural spiritual beings which act on behalf of or against the divine law of Thaer (Atea) to bring goodness or ruin on humanity, respectively. One of them is Maui, who is believed to be the Angelic Protector of the Greater Oan people, who granted the Ahua clan the right to rule over Greater Oa forever. Moreover, they believed that souls are distinguishable, rational, and efficacious in the Luminiferous Aether. This had massive consequences in that it established a basis for eschatological beliefs that wildly differed from Mainland Thaerism such as prophecies of the end of and reconstitution of the mortal universe with the effect of the expurgation of Dark Angelic beings and evil from the mortal universe. Mainland Thaerists believed that many of these beliefs were heretical.
Mauist scholars, spiritual leaders and fundamentalists have rejected the name "Mauism" and consider themselves Insular Thaerists. Thus there are ethno-centric and ecumenical elements of Mauist belief. The ethno-centric concepts relate to Maui, the line of Ahua the Great and the Greater Oan people. The ecumenical concepts encompass the nature of creation, the nature of Thaer, the eschatology of the Universe and so on. Thus, Mauist teachings are considered heretical by Mainland Thaerist churches. The proliferation of Mauist/Insular Thaerist ecumenical beliefs in Morstaybishlia particularly was squashed to oblivion. Mauism was especially persecuted in
