TekARK offers an alternative idea on religion shaped primarily by the modern world. Aided by scientific theory and fact, it draws on the notion of the divine with the idea of the Simulation Hypothesis. At the same time, it also holds that all ancient major religions are in fact real and true, having come from the same divinity in order to spark differentiation in our world. We explore the notion that advanced technology and ideas are indistinguishable from literal "magic"; leading to the belief that ours is a simulated reality and just what that might mean for us all. This work is primarily intended for those who have been searching for their own faith, yet have always come up empty thus far; those of a realist/scientific bent who seek to explore their own faith; or merely the inquisitive sort who are perfectly content in their beliefs, but always seeking to continue expanding their horizons with new ideas. TekARK sprung out of my own beliefs when I found no existing religion adhered to exactly what I came to see of this world. I committed to this process of sharing them with the world, that others might not have to start entirely from scratch to understand their own faith.
