Although a modern religion founded in the 30th century, Felinism has its roots in the pre-[[Ahmadism|Ahmadi]] indigenous shamanistic pagan religion practiced by the early [[Jelbic peoples|Jelbic tribes]] of [[Barmenistan]], with significant influences from Qedarite (Semitic) mythology and [[Religio Seluciana|Selucian Paganism]]. Many archaeological findings tell of the reverence of cats from ancient times, especially in the ancient Qedarite ziggurats found in Barmenistan. Many Felinists belong to the Selucian minority in Barmenistan. Felinism was recently driven underground as a result of the resurgence of [[Ahmadism]] and a ban on the religion, prompting most Felinists to abandon their faith, although its practice was never brought to an end; unofficial estimates counted the number of crypto-Felinists at around 12 million. Following the expulsion of crypto-Felinists as part of the [[Barmenian Refugee Crisis]], a plurality of them relocated to [[Selucia]] where they were accepted as practitioners of Selucian Paganism and cat worship was integrated into the Religio. |
