TENETS

A Matter of Faith

Faith is very much a personal affair, but for the leader who can harness the religious sentiment in their Empire, religions offer a powerful tool of control. In Humankind, that control comes in the form of Tenets, religious commandmants that can shape the direction of a whole Empire--or even Empires. Remember, only the Religious Leader can choose any given Religion's Tenets!
