Neo-Paxism, or Universal Neopaxism (Neo- ''New'' Pax ''Peace''; 'New Pacifism') is a deistic religion founded in 2017. Neopaxism is centered around living a life of peace with other fellow humans and nature. Neopaxism does not have an authoritative sacred text, but Neopaxists, or Followers of Neo-Paxism, generally adhere to the Four Great Commandments.
Neopaxism is a deistic religion, although a theistic mindset is not required to follow its beliefs and practices. Neopaxists believe in a Supreme Being, whom they call "The Lord of Peace". This One Being is manifested in countless animate, inanimate, tangible and intangible beings and concepts, e.g. The Lord of Peace can be manifested within nature, or in a human form, but The Lord of Peace is most commonly manifested in intangible concepts, namely peace, and also in the actions of peacemakers.
Etymology[]
Neo-Paxism comes from the root words ''Neo-'' meaning ''new'', and ''Pax'', meaning "peace." It is commonly referred to as Neopaxism, or Universal Neopaxism ('Universal' referring to the belief that all human beings throughout the world should strive for peace.)
History[]
Neopaxism was founded around the fall of 2017 when Sadek R. L. was meditating and subsequently had a revelation: The Ultimate Goal of Humanity is to live in peace and harmony.
Sadek R. decided to create a belief system centered around the key idea known as "True Peace." All of humanity is encouraged to strive for a world with True Peace, as that is believed to be the ultimate goal of humankind. Sadek formulated a process for one to achieve True Peace, which consists of four steps, known as "The 4 Great Commandments." Every individual is encouraged to achieve True Peace in their life, for then and only then will humanity as a collective be able to proceed to True Peace on a worldwide scale.
The number of Neopaxists is unknown, but Sadek R. L. believes that anyone who lives a peace-minded lifestyle is a Neopaxist. Therefore, some people that practice other religions or follow differing belief systems, such as the Bahá'í Faith, Buddhism, and Jainism can be considered to be Neopaxists.
Theology[]
Neopaxism is considered to be a Deistic Religion. Nevertheless, Atheists and Agnostics can join the religion, as long as they practice True Peace and the 4 Great Commandments.
Sadek R. L. quotes:
''Anybody that believes in Pacifism (Neopaxism), and the Four Great Commandments can... join the religion of Neopaxism and can be proud of being a Neopaxist .''
Neopaxists also believe that The Lord of Peace was manifested in people such as Jesus, Krishna, and Buddha. Neopaxists believe that names for God such as Allah and YHWH are simply manifestations of the Lord of Peace. However, different belief systems have often corrupted the originaly message for peace, and therefore have implanted negative beliefs in people's mindsets which contribute to the decaying of the world. This has been a primary cause for ongoing discrimination and hatred among different groups of people.
The Four Great Commandments[]
Neopaxists believe in the Four Great Commandments and obey them at all times. The Four Great Commandments are summarized as follows:
1. Be peaceful towards all living beings always. Be kind to all living beings.
2. Do not kill or harm any living creature in any way.
3. Do good actions towards all. Do not act in this manner only towards certain people of those whom you prefer.
4. Have a good character, leading a virtuous lifestyle. E.g., being peaceful, kind, honest, humble, thankful, respectful, responsible, patient, and generous.
Membership[]
To officially join Neopaxism, one must say the Neopaxist Creed.
Neopaxist creed (For theists):
I swear to do my best to bring peace to the world, as our Lord of Peace commanded us to do so. I swear to do my part by obeying the Four Great Commandments. And I also do swear to do my best honoring The Lord of Peace always, namely by practicing peace at all times. Let it be so.
Neopaxist creed (For atheists or agnostics):
I swear to do my best to bring peace to the world, as our Lord of Peace, the timeless personification of Peace, abstract, commanded us to do so. I also do swear to do my part by obeying the Four Great Commandments, and by practicing peace at all times. Let it be so.
It is best if one washes their hands before saying the Creed, for in doing so, one is showing respect to The Lord of Peace (if one is a theist) or Peace itself (if one is an atheist or an agnostic.)
Creation of the Universe[]
Neopaxism teaches that the Creation of the All is unexplainable; stating otherwise deemed as assuming what one cannot have total certainty of. However, some Neopaxists believe that The Lord of Peace created the Universe; this is a minor view.
Symbol of Neo-Paxism[]

The symbol of Neopaxism is a dove.

Marriage[]
In Neopaxism, all consenting adults can freely marry, but divorce is viewed as a near extreme measure in most cases. However, there are situations where divorce is necessary.
