Editing Dogpocalypse (section)

=== Militants ===

With the sheer number of bible-thumpers and megachurches in the area affected by the Event, it should come as no surprise that many of the survivors were deeply religious. Cut off from the rest of the nation, blaming technology (perhaps correctly) for the disaster that befell them, they try to turn back time to a simpler era. Specifically, the Crusades. As one can imagine, this doesn't make them very welcoming or friendly. They have almost no technology, but seem to have almost supernatural luck, as if they really were operating with divine guidance...

:Major subfactions of the Militants include:

:'''Purifiers''' - Formed from some of the worst of the ultra-conservative churches, the Purifiers seem to live only to find fault in others, and to extract it in the most painful way possible. They burn witches, heritics, and anyone they feel just doesn't believe enough. The winter is their busy season, as they consider the cold to be God's way of telling them to burn more unbelievers.

:'''God's Light''' - On the other hand, God's Light isn't nearly as bad. While they're still very conservative and anti-technology, it's more in the way of the Amish, and they don't press their beliefs on others. Instead, they work to unite the various survivors and to try and make the lives of others better while still spreading the Word.
