American Non-Denominationism: An extra look
The Non-Denom faith is the pre-eminent faith throughout the eastern US and eastern (Anglo-) Canada. It is a branch of Christianity, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as head under God and based in the old capital of Washington, DC. It's tenets are those of other Christian denominations, defined through the predominantly Baptist and Episcopalian beliefs that made up the old America's faith. It does have a few unique characteristics to it, though. First and foremost are the following tenets:
"The Americans are God's chosen nation today."
"A ruler's authority...is from God."
"Social justice cannot only be based on laws; it must also come from religion."
"God can be known through the experiences of the American people."
"Holidays like the Fourth of July are religious as well as patriotic."
"God. Bless. America."
There are some other traits unique to Non-Denom Christianity (at least by Neo-Medieval standards, if not Modern) as well. Priests (called and addressed as 'Citizens') can be male or female, celibacy is encouraged but not required, and there is a monastic order (The Fraternal Lodge of the Freemasons) dedicated to preserving old world knowledge - with some controversy (Many monarchs and warlords claim that the Masons know how to make gunpowder and are hiding it from them. The Masons deny this, and claim that those fireworks shot off every Fourth of July work on completely different principles).
