The Church of the Aiùa

The Three Spirals symbol holds deep spiritual significance
for the followers of the teachings of Keeler.

This religious movement is one of the few that has achieved popularity beyond species lines.  Originally formed by a human settler of the planet Miro named Anson Keeler, the Church of the Aiùa believes that all matter is fundamentally connected, and that living matter is more closely connected together, and intelligent life more closely still.  For this reason the Church abhors violence of any kind that is not directly related too, and absolutely necessary for the maintenance of life.  Moreover, adherents of this philosophy advocate for a pan-sentient frame of reference and believe that to narrow the vision to a single entity is short-sighted and ultimately untenable.

Interestingly enough, Anson Keeler was a well-respected quantum physicist before he became a prophet and many maintain that it was his research into the fundamental nature of the universe that led to his revelation.  To this day scientists seek to recreate Professer Keeler's research to better understand how he reached his conclusions.  This is made difficult by the fact the Keeler destroyed his notes and research materials, saying that the quest for knowledge was always more important than the attainment, perhaps he believed that faith in the unknown was still a fundamental part of the universe.
