These are commonly non practiced religions within this world but does not mean they are never practiced. These religions should not be moderated , rather these shall only be something that someone should inner personally use.What is Moderated? In short to have a appointed leader, voice to their divine, etc. this is to provent a individual from abusing the power of it. Of course ficto-religions do allow groups to be made however but remeber to take note to not allow a spiritual leader to rise up.Ficto-Religons like other religions, may have practices, commandments, beliefs, etc. that they may fall under. These are to only to be positive and for the well being for those who fall under it.Ficto-Religons are not Cults/Fults (Faux Cults) and should never mimic cult like practices, formations, etc. to prevent harm to one’s self and others outside them. This also includes that Ficto-Religons will not and should not promote harm to others and oneself.
