The religion believed by the Bishops and the people of Dema. The religion basically states that the end goal of all life is to die (by suicide), and that “reality” should be celebrated. This religion is the reason why Clancy and the Banditos left Dema. Tyler (from the band Twenty One Pilots) wants everyone to know that this fake religion is 100% wrong, and he and Josh communicated this in their song Neon Gravestones on their album Trench. Tyler communicated this information in a Discord Clique interview on May, 3, 2020. The interview can be found on the Discord Clique YouTube.

Me: “It’s the fake religion in the storyline of Trench.”
