The Yunyalīlta may be described as a nontheist or a pantheist and animist religion: there is no notion of a God or Gods as omnipotent and supernatural beings that are above all, but nature (''yunya'') herself is treated as a godlike element. "Godlike" supernatural beings (''kaihai''), incarnating various traits of the ''yunya'', are however present in folklore and are most probably syncretic remnants of a pagan pre-Yunyalīlti shamanism.<br/> | The Yunyalīlta may be described as a nontheist or a pantheist and animist religion: there is no notion of a God or Gods as omnipotent and supernatural beings that are above all, but nature (''yunya'') herself is treated as a godlike element.

Historically, the philosophical aspect was the greatest source of conflict during the Conclaves to elect a new Great Inquisitor; however, since the unification of temporal and spiritual power, the political factions have become more important in Conclaves than the philosophical ones.</ref><br/> | ||
The central focus of the Yunyalīlta is, however, the interaction between humans and the rest of the nature, as a subset of the interactions that living creatures (''lileñšai'', sg. ''lileñšah'') make with all other existing creatures (''jallašai'', sg. ''jallašah'') in this existential sphere (''jallajāṇa''). | The central focus of the Yunyalīlta is, however, the interaction between humans and the rest of the nature, as a subset of the interactions that living creatures (''lileñšai'', sg.
