The two major religions are the Temple of Frood and the Church of Yonker. When the psychiatrists took over religion on Tockworld, they rounded up all of the priests, politicians and telemarketers they could find and stuffed them into a theme park. The deposed leaders can now be found preaching to the mechanical llamas. The Froodians and the Yonkerians both worship wholeness, but they use different paradigms, and the two sects have fought pitched battles over such things as how to pronounce wholeness. The Froodians emphasize the first syllable, the Yonkerians emphasize the last syllable.
Shrinks have an array of weapons with which they suppress apostates.
These include preemptive therapy, long-distance analysis, identity suction, memory scrapers, ego pumps and war surplus thumbscrews. All sects are convinced that a Normal Person exists, and that at some distant point in the past, this Normal Person walked on Tockworld and gave away free copies of a book on how to be wholesome. Only fragments have survived, and there is much disagreement about what they mean, but after fifty years of careful archaeological work, one fragment has been reconstructed. One of the most important festivals on Tockworld is Llamas Eve, in which everybody dresses up in a llama costume and dances around the sticks of life to celebrate the new year. Later, the Jolly Fat Llama comes in a sort of flying bladder, pulled by twelve giant crows and one electric toucan.
