	Qhirom ben-Qhenni constructs a neo-Hadīqūt to rebel against what he views as the exclusivism of Christianity; he translates many Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain texts into Knench. He views paganism as natural, rather than racial/essential to IE-speaking people. (He studies Judaism just like any non-Christian religion and focuses on the rabbinical texts; he notes how Rabbinic Judaism encourages pluralism in interpretation, and he even sees some common cause with the Tanakh itself, because some objectionable things it condemns were also condemned by the Hadīqīm. Thus he emphasizes that Jews are not the enemy of pluralism.)

	Hadīqūt (out-of-universe note: this is a loan translation from Greek ''eusébeia'', which translates ''dharma'') is an offshoot of Punic religion that among other things condemns both human and animal sacrifice; its beliefs are somewhat poorly attested because of Christian suppression, but evidence about it survives in Latin and Greek texts.
