Haburashism

Haburashism is a religion and philosophy based on the teachings of prophet Dhuwiya, sometimes also known as Dhuwiyaism. It was probably founded several centuries before the founding of the Athlian Confederation (around 2000 AY), and while its adherents have been declining in the past millennia, it is still considered a major religion due to its historical importance and influence on many other major world religions. At its height, it dominated much of Athlia, former Djakhet, and the surrounding regions.

Origins
Haburashism emerged out of the religious system of the pre-literate Proto-Buzaic-speaking peoples and particularly their descendants, the Proto-Athlians. There is considerable controversy within academia and the Haburashic faith as to the role of Dhuwiya in the creation of Haburashism as a distinct creed from the proto-Athilian polytheism. Essentially, the debate boils down to whether Dhuwiya was a revolutionary reformer of proto-Athlian polytheism, a visionary who developed an entirely new religious system with influences from surrounding cultures, or simply a thinker who was later anachronistically honored as the creator of the national religion of the Athlian people. Because the Dhuwiya Instructions do not emerge in written form until at least a century or two after Dhuwiya's death around 2000 AY, it is impossible to use them to attempt to piece together the historical figure behind the legendary one of Dhuwiya.
