=Religion in Chuuk=

Religion in Chuuk is predominantly Protestant, which first arrived in Chuuk in.... Before that, the Yapese people practiced traditional rituals and practices and held beliefs about the gods, the spirits....

Spirits
The Chuukese word for "spirit" is énú, which translates as "all supernatural beings." Different kinds of énú include harmful spirits, ancestor spirits, and gods. Harmful spirits reside in specific locations on land or on sea. Traditional Chuukese belief holds that each human has two spirits (ngúún), a good one and a bad one. The good spirit exists before birth, but the bad spirit is born with the human. The good spirit can leave the body during life and create dreams.

At death, both spirits leave the body and become énú. After three or four days, the good spirit goes to the sky world be judged by the gods Énúúnap or Nuuk. If the good spirit possesses the body of a relative, that is believed to show that the spirit, now called énúyaramas, wants to stay in contact with the family. The bad spirit lingers near the body until burial, and it is scared off with either light and crowded places. Some ancestor spirits are treated with honor and achieve god-like status.

Gods
Chuukese cosmology has been described as an inverted bowl placed on the ocean. The sky world has several tiers, and the gods dwell in the highest tier, the Long Sky. The lowest tier is the Floating Sky, where human spirits stop as they ascend to Long Sky.

Some of these gods created the atolls and reside in the highest tiers of the sky. Others gods are earthbound and serve as patron deities for specific occupations, such as navigation or different types of building. Énúúnap ("great spirit") is considered the chief of the gods, and his heir apparent Nuuk does most of his work. Nuuk's son, or in some mythologies his brother, Wonofáát is a trickster who comes down from the sky to wreak havoc on earth.
