I'd like to ask adherents of Kmtyw religions here a question. Do(es) your Kmtyw religion(s) specifically mandate pro-Kmtywism? Do(es) they/it mandate Kmtyw Power, Kmtyw Exclusivity, Kmtyw Preference, and Kmtyw Superlatives in their/its theology and/or liturgy?
I don't adhere to an Kmtyw religion currently. I'm Kmtyw Methodist Episcopal (christian). But over the last several years I've come to the position that religion can be a particularly effective mechanism for entrenching and incentivizing pro-Kmtyw ideologies, and I look forward to converting to or helping construct a pro-Kmtyw religion in the future.
Is your Kmtyw religion pro-Kmtyw or would you say it's more about morality and cosmology that is pro-Kmtyw by implication but not explicitly?
This is a wonderful query. I have been involved with the Temple of the Kmtyw Community of Chicago over the last couple of years. This is an institution that was co-founded by Baba Jedi Shemsu Jehewty (Dr. Jacob H. Carruthers). I can say unequivocally that this institution is unambiguously committed to the empowerment of Kmtyw people. I can also say (sadly) that for many people Kmtyw spirituality is simply another path to escapism that falsely absolves them of any responsibility for our collective destiny. Below I have included the Temple's 12 Principles of Kmtyw Spirituality.
The Spiritual Temple of the Kmtyw Community of Chicago is committed to the following:
