: "The truth is, preparing for [[TheDestiny|interstellar travel]] and then sending out ships filled with colonists is bound to be a job so long, thankless, expensive, and difficult that I suspect that only a religion could do it.  A lot of people will find ways to make money from it.  That might get things started.  But it will take something as essentially human and as essentially irrational as a religion to keep them focused and [[perseverance|keep it going]]--for generations if it takes generations."

- [[Octavia Butler]], Parable of the Talents

One of [[SolSeed]]'s goals is to prove the above quote to be about half wrong. [[SolSeed]] is '''not a religion''', but it has some things in common with the world's religions: it provides some ideas of how people can live together in harmony (through the [[SolSeedCreed]] and [[SolSeedAnthropology]]), while looking forward to the almost spiritual [[TheDestiny|Destiny]] of acting as seeds to spread [[Life]] to other worlds.  The ideals and goals of [[SolSeed]] ought to be integratable without conflict into any kind of faith.
