AH Challenge: The Arthur Religion

You are starting to move away from Christianity if you do that. The Middle Age practice of worshipping saints would probably sufficient, especially if Saint Arthur of Britain is up there with St Michael and Saint James the Great
Or perhaps an early kind of Rasatfarianism (which is a form of Christianity, whether your like it or not), but obviously with an Arthurian format. With Arthur seen as the British Messiah, the second coming of Christ to deliver the British people in their hour of need. That could work.

Less than a Messiah because that term applies to Christ. Say as a Intercessor or Protector in times of Adversity. And needless to say he would be the Patron Saint of Britain.
 
yes thats how I'm seeing it Arthur the patron saint of england and one who will return to defend it in its darkest hour when the ravens flee the white tower and all seems lost:D:D
p.s. doesn't someone have to die to become a saint and the legends state that Arthur still lives waiting for when england needs him most

Solipsist is loath to revive a controversial thread, but is excited about Arthurian religion.

1. Arthur retains his pre-Christian roots and takes on the mantle of a Celtic divinity. Possibly surviving in some barbaric WElsh backwater (like Cardiff*) while the SAxons get Christian. Perhaps revived by a cynical Romantic poet in the early 19th century in an attempt to shock devout Victorian society.

2. Arthur really does go and save the Pope (as suggested in Mallory, Solipsist thinks?), gets canonised for his trouble, and becomes patron saint of England. Much rejoicing.


*Since Wales, like everything else, is a figment of Solipsist's imagination, no offence is intended to anyone unlucky enough to come from Cardiff.
