Themelios

The Faith of Themelios is a religious cult, honoring and praising the God Themelios, the guardian of the World of Life and Sun. 
Followers believe bedrock to be the physical embodiment of their God's divine shield, with which he protects and separates the World of Life and Sun from the Underworld of Horror and Darkness.
All bedrock is thus considered sacred, and especially occurences above the usual bedrock layer are worshipped as miraculous sites.
== Summary of beliefs ==
=== Conception of the World ===
The universe is made up of the Overworld beneath the sky, and the Underworld deep below. 
While the Overworld is the place of Life and Sun, containing peace and love and growth, the Underworld is the place of Horror and Darkness, containing the worst of cruelties. The God Themelios, Guardian of the World of Life and Sun, has defended the Overworld in the Great Clash of Creation, saving all life and good from certain perdition. While he succeded in suppressing the incarnations of horror and darkness, he could not yet obliterate all evil but banished it back to the Nether. 
It was after that Great Clash of Creation that he drove his divine shield of unbreakable bedrock between the Overworld and the Underworld. It is that very shield that guards this place of Life and Sun from the abyss of Horror and Darkness. 
Believers of Themelios hence worship bedrock as divine material brought into our world by Themelios himself. It is carrying our world of Life and Sun, while suppressing the demons of the Underworld in the Nether. Any occurences of bedrock outside the layer are considered fragments of the shield, separated in the Great Clash of Creation, and worshipped as especially holy sites.
