The Mechanical Faith is a religion venerating mechanization and typically also opposes the concept of flesh or organic life, seeing it as in some form unholy. This religion is thought to have existed since ancient times several millennia before the Great Sleep; with the oldest found artefacts being dated to roughly 1800 BGS.
The main theological tenet of the faith is that their deity has been scattered, destroyed, dispersed or otherwise rendered inert. Through the use of technology, the often anomalous Church followers seek to bring together components or pieces of their Mechanical God, the form this god would take after reconstruction varies by sect, taking either the form of a physical deity, a pre-existing deity located in another dimension, or the collective will of humanity.
Over the history of the Mechanical Faith several schisms have occurred, most notably in the years 88, 198 and 278, leading to the fragmentation of the Mechanical Faith into several separate but related religions.
