Universal Church of the Celestial Sun

The Universal Church of the Celestial Sun is currently the most popular religion among Humans, combining elements of traditional human/Earth faiths with the Cult of the Allspark, although the more pure worship of the Allspark and even Progenitor worship compete with Universal Church missionaries for human followers. The God of the Universal Church, often called the Pancreator or Celestial Sun, is identified with the gods of many human faiths and with the Allspark. The Progenitors, Neosapiens, and Transformers are identified with good angels serving the true God or with evil demons. The Church also believes in the reincarnation of souls into new bodies. The Universal Church is also the official religion of the Earth Alliance. The Pancreator/Celestial Sun/Allspark is considered the only true God. The Universal Church does control some planets outside the political authority of the Earth Alliance. It currently tries to convert non-humans as well as human non-believers.

The Universal Church was originally an offshoot of an older sect called the United God Movement, itself an attempt to fuse Jewish, Christian, and Islamic monotheism with Hindu and Buddhist faith in reincarnation. The Universal Church still uses United God Movement religious texts.

The Universal Church is composed of a number of clerical orders, including the Regular Priesthood, the Hesychasts, and Brother Battle. The leadership of the Church is vested in the Church Patriarch and the Holy Synod.
