The de facto religion is fundamentalist Calvinism. The two tenets they dearly cling to are tabula rasa, everyone is entirely the result of nurture without nature, and the elect, some people are predestined by god to lead. God must be abandoned within that framework in order to resolve the conflict of people born into opposing theistic cultures.
It's been a long time since I thought about Calvinism (one of my closest friends in high school/college was a Calvinist), but I don't remember tabula rasa being part of the "five points". Is that a secondary aspect of Calvinism?
I'm not looking at it from Calvinism proper, rather the philosophical framework for it. The quest to eliminate the unprinicipled exceptions has forced a lot out, including god.
