In the beginning there was nothing but the vast void left by the War of the Big Bang. There the Gods who remained lived amongst the remnants of the dust of the Universe. Therefore there are other Gods whom exist and are not part of the Parthenon of Athenaism. But the one True faith, the faith that loves all, shows mercy, respect, and courage, is Athenaism. It is the duty of Priest, Monks, and Nuns of the Faith to spread the messages of the Gods to all non-believers. Like a Shepard brings a flock of sheep to greener pastures, it is their duty to enlighten those whom are lost of the sight and beauty of the Gods. 

Conversion is no easy feat, their is much love and adoration for many false Gods and Prophets and adoration for real Gods and Prophets. Yet here it is intuitive that the message be brought upon the Gainese, non-believers, that they must learn of the gifts given to them by the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena and the Gods. 

It is intuitive here that one learns that they may bring with them their Gods and marry them into the Holy House of the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena. For the Gods need new spouses, and spouses create more offspring and more Gods and Goddesses who watch over and protect us all. 

The conversion process is tedious but shall be embraced by a Gainese to become one with the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena and her household. While Gainese are allowed into the Holy Temple, they are not allowed to worship unless they are converted. Conversion begins when they renounce their false Gods and Prophets or embrace the faith and add their Gods and Prophets into the Faith but only when they embrace that the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena is the Mother Of All Holy of Holies Seer of Seers. Once they do this they must be bathed by the priest in the holy water. Once the priest christens them and anoints their head with Oil from Olives with the fragrance of the Orange Blossom, only then are they one of the Shinto people, the believers of the Mother Goddess and true Athenians. 

Non believers must read the Holy Book and attend Temple Daily as is the custom to become one of the full fledged members of the Temple. Once they are members of the Temple they may seek to serve the Gods or just be amongst the flock of believers. Non Believers may enter the Temple but may not partake in Temple rites or rituals. They may not enter the Holy of Holies or read from the scriptures until they are purified and have been taught and shown the way. 

If a Non Believer converts and wants their ancestors to be converted into the faith so that they may be reunited in the Underworld for eternity, they must present to their priest their case. The Priest shall be instructed to study the converters background, the history of their faith prior to being enlightened by the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena, and research their lineage so that their ancestors may be reunited in the after life of the Underworld.
