== Modern Knench religion ==

Qhirom ben-Qhenni constructs a neo-Hadīqūt to rebel against what he views as the exclusivism of Christianity ~~and Islam~~; he translates many Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain texts into Knench. He views paganism as natural, rather than racial/essential to IE-speaking people. (Re Judaism, he notes how Rabbinic Judaism encourages pluralism, and he even sees some common cause with the Tanakh itself, because some objectionable things it condemns were also condemned by the Hadīqīm)

There is a "xenharmony but for religion" culture of comparative religion

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.)

Another Knench scholar Mathaj Faros disagrees somewhat, saying that he can't believe in any gods because he already started out disbelieving in most gods thanks to Christianity

Most modern Knench people ~~are irreligious; among~~ the religious, the largest religions: Christianity > syncretic paganism (modeled after Indian and Japanese paganisms) > Judaism ≈ Islam (People usually don't go from Christianity/Islam to paganism, they go to irreligion)

Most modern Knench people describe themselves as not being in any particular religion, because of the enduring influence of "xen-religion" in Knench culture. Among the religious, the largest religions are Christianity > syncretic paganism (modeled after Indian and Japanese paganisms) > Judaism ≈ Islam (People usually don't go from Christianity/Islam to paganism, they go to irreligion)

Many Knench people, even nominally irreligious people and Christians, have folk beliefs
