Conservational Theism
Conservational theism is a belief based on the laws of conservation of mass and energy as theistic and philosophical approach to life. It is based on four main principals, positive influence, individual understanding, environmental responsibility, and general moderation.

Theism
The theistic principal of Conservational Theism is the indestructible nature of mass and energy as a metaphor for the traditional "God" figure. Rather than a personified God, the omnipotence and omnipresence of God is translated into the scientific law that neither mass nor energy are created nor destroyed.

Positive Influence
Positive influence, the first pillar of conservational theism, encompasses aspects of the belief system as a whole. This term encompasses acting in a generally kind way, conducting oneself in a manner conducive to the well-being of the self and others, and maintenance of a non-destructive spirit.

Individual Understanding
The principal of Individual Understanding is established specifically to encourage the consistent pursuit of knowledge and questioning of ideals. It is imperative to the health of the group to maintain an open idea pool.

Environmental Responsibility
As the religion emphasizes connection with the universe as a whole, environmental responsibility is key. Conservational theist may choose to become vegetarians in order to avoid robbing energy of animals, other users of the shared energy, and adding to destruction of the environment, shared matter.

Moderation
Moderation is another key principal of Conservational Theism. By collectively moderating the consumption of resources, shared matter and energy on earth is able to be more fairly distributed. World stewardship is also emphasized as it is an obvious act of positive influence as well as an exercise in responsibility and moderation.
