    "Oh, really?" she asks, "Where do you go? Is it a Shinto church? Jehovian?"

    Sam answers whichever one of those that Auntie Muku goes to, which he would presumably know.

    And he pulls up a Wiki on it.

    Muku is neither of those faiths. She is actually somewhat famous in the city for her contributions to the Church of Happy Science. She single-handedly got a direct train line built from the Kinza district to the church grounds and is openly known to be a high ranking member of the church. Though the church is publicly considered to be "controversial" (which what polite people say instead of "cult") it has been slowly growing in popularity, particularly among the poor and downtrodden.

    The emperor is openly opposed to the religion, having publicly condemned it on more than one occasion, though he has done nothing to directly interfere with it. It is largely believed that it is only a matter of time before he decides to do something and that it is unlikely to be a peaceful affair when it happens.

    The Shinto religion is the dominant religion of the Desian Islands and has been since the country was founded. The emperor primarily serves as the head of the Shinto church. Though he has some political power as well, he rarely exercises it, instead leaving most decisions to various elected officials. The religion is based on the belief that everything in the world has a soul or spirit within it and the forces of nature are all represented by many gods. Though it is a central part of Desian life, most do not attend a regular religious service, pray, or read scripture. Most worship comes in the form of superstition and annual festivals to celebrate the gods. Ensuring the gods are kept happy is generally considered the job of priests, not lay people.

    The Jehovian religion is relatively new to the Desian Islands and is the primary religion of the nation of Victoria. It is a monotheistic religion where there is believed to be an all-seeing god who looks down upon mortals and judges their behavior. Worshipers regularly attend church, pray and read from their holy book. They are fiercely protective of their religion and constantly seek new converts to their faith. One core belief of the religion is that magic is solely the power of God and any use of it by mortals is considered blasphemy. This is an unsurprising belief among a nation of people with 0% magic users.

    ((The wiki contains what I just said))

    Auntie Muku says, "Have you ever thought about converting? You know some of the best minds in on the matrix are members of the Church of Happy Science? They've been developing a security for the church that you wouldn't believe. Not to mention a dedicated matrix connection with speeds so fast you'd think it's the real world."

    Auntie Muku says, "It's strictly for members of the church, of course. I don't know all that much about the technical details, but I've met some very smart people at the church who inform me that they are working on a very special host for our members, which is why they need the extra speed for the matrix connection. If you're interested in converting, I could introduce you to them and maybe get you access to the host as well. They could probably use a mind like yours to help work on it."

    "Okay," Sam, whose religious affiliation is very much available for sale, says. "I would like to check out matrix access faster than luxury access."

    Auntie Muku smiles and says, "Excellent! I'll talk to some of the techies over there and see about getting you a tour maybe sometime after your little lakeside rendezvous. You'll absolutely enjoy yourself, I just know it."

    Sam has no particular response. He eats his meal.
