Overview: Donuspetism is a belief system based on the existence of tunhguods, more commonly referred to as the “doughnut spirits”. These spirits aid the believer in times of need in situations along the path of enlightenment, the most common of these paths being school. Donuspetism is not a universalizing religion, as Donuspetists can be a part of other religions as well as believing in Donuspetism. Donuspetists believe that the path to enlightenment is divided into steps, with a visit to Donutopolis marking the end of a step and the beginning of another.

History:

Beliefs: The omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent spirits will descend upon others and aid them in their studies and efforts toward enlightenment. Only a few “chosen ones” can see these tunhguods, but their presence can be sensed by many. However, only persons possessing a reasonable amount of intelligence will receive the assistance of tunhgouds, as these spirits only help those who will show an amount of improvement. The existence of improvement is viewed as a reward by the tunhguods. The spirits collectively act as a whole, helping others. To non-Donuspetists, this aid is often viewed as a “sudden bout of inspiration”.

Traditions: Every Donutspetist is strongly encouraged to make a pilgrimage to the holy city of Donutopolis, the place where tunhguod power is greatest, when they complete a step to enlightenment.
