Monkey Worship

Those who live on Monkey Island practice Monkey Worship (猿の礼拝, "Saru no Reihai") with Lord Sarugami as their supreme deity. They believe that primates—monkeys especially—are the most capable life-forms on the planet and credit Sarugami as the source of their power. This includes praying to him, sacrificing to him and calling down his name in blessings or curses. Yamazaru has practiced the religion since he was a small boy. Aside from that, he is a philosopher, acting as a spiritual man and wise figure around the world. His word and thoughts are well respect and can be found in many households and schools.
In traditional Monkey Worship, the monkey god is almost all-pervading and all powerful. Images of the monkey god can be seen in many traditional settings as a talisman of protection.
