'''Ngronaism''' (''ing-ROH-nay-iz-əm'' (AmE) or ''ing-RON-ay-iz-əm'' (BrE), [[Eevo]]: ''Ñronaivih'' /ˈŋrɔnaivih/, [[Windermere]]: ''Thăngop Ronea'' 'Ngrona religion', [[Clofabosin]]: ''Ronevatran'' 'Ngrona-faith') is a religion founded by Anbirese ''pĭda'' (religious teacher) Emisom Anjeodgan. Ngronaism is a monolatrous faith; the religion teaches that the Second Mover ([[Eevo]]: ''a Nwtxáh Arn''; a concept borrowed from Mărotłism) exists in the external world as a goddess named Ngrona (Eevo: ''Ñrona''), not merely as a force within the human mind; she is loving towards all sentient beings and seeks to liberate them from this world. It is said that Ngrona opposes the First Mover, a demiurge who created the current world with all the evil and suffering therein, and that she will eventually defeat the First Mover and usher in her paradise where all beings who meditated upon her name will go and rejoice in her love, radiance and beauty.

[[Anbirese]] ''pĭda'' Emisom Anjeodgan was inspired by old Second Mover writings for his own idea of the Second Mover: He drew up an old Talmic goddess "Ngrona" (Eevo: ''Ñrona'', Anbirese: ''Ngroneo'', from hypothetical [[Tigol]] ''*Ñronae'', from [[Thensarian]] ''Ȝronaeae''), and claimed that she was the Second Mover. The First Mover, on the other hand, was an illegitimate demiurge who kept humans in the prison full of death and suffering, and our only salvation was to break out of the prison by any means necessary. Because of its promise of universal salvation by faith, Ngronaism gained widespread popular appeal when it was founded.

 

However, some of his followers went even more hardline on vegetarianism, prohibiting all animal products that required killing the animal; they believed that Ngrona had banned all "slaughter" of all animals.

===Ngrona's Vows===

===Completion of the Laws===

Ngronaists hold that Ngrona has already completed the list of all the laws that apply to humanity, as proven and told by her prophet Anjeodgan. The authority of the Mărotłian Pĭdas is hence null and void.

According to the Book of Vows, it suffices to express faith in Ngrona's salvation and to endeavor to follow this complete set of laws for one to meet the goddess in one's next life:

:''Should I, Ngrona, fail to grant eternal life and companionship with me to anyone who has called upon my name with intention and pursued to follow my law immediately upon his rebirth, may I be stripped of my godhood.''

It is believed that someday Ngrona will kill the First Mover and institute her reign in all the realms including the human one. The dead will be revived, souls languishing in hells will be released, and Ngrona will transform evildoers into righteous people. Human society itself will become a utopia. To hasten Ngrona's arrival one must do good deeds (by obeying her law) and refrain from evil deeds: Ngrona will arrive when humanity's collective karma (good karma can cancel out bad karma) goes above a certain  unrevealed threshold.

*The working class are Ngronaists.

*The middle to upper classes are Mărotłians.

Ngronaism shares some of its canon with Mărotłism but uses translated texts unlike Mărotłism.

Ngronaism uses symbols, allegories, myths and rituals copiously, many of them of syncretistic origin; however, it emphasizes that these are allegories and myth, designed for absorption by the limited human mind.
