Cheggism

Cheggism is a religion centred on the God-Emperor Cheggimus. It is the greatest religion to ever exist, and every other religion is a lie. We all hail Chegg as the prophet and the Lord all at once.

Core tenets
Unlike Christianity or other religions, Cheggism does not pretend to care about morals or other stupid shit like that. Our main goal is to further worship of Chegg Imus and his saints. Similar to The Angelis for Christianity, Cheggism has multiple prayers, as listed below:

Prayers
"CHIEGG HEIL" - for when one enters discord when Chegg is typing, or when Chegg Imus enters a conversation.

"HEIL CHEGGLER" - to be said when one has an event written by Chegg that goes well for them. This is an expression of gratitude and humble thankfulness.

These statements are now restricted, following server-wide complaints that it was irritating. Chegg promptly made it illegal, much to Conq and Koe's chagrin.

History
Cheggism was founded in GS3 and centred on the worship of Chegg. The early periods of Cheggism were peaceful, as up until GS6, there was little variation in interpretations of Cheggism. Her iron rule prevented countering perspectives as well.

By GS7, Cheggism began maturing and branching into new sects. Following the end of GS6, Enlightened Cheggism became a niche yet vocal sect of Cheggism, followed primarily by Conq, and purporting that Cactus' control over the server warranted him becoming a saint. This was unpopular among many members of the server due to his role in Brennism. Two branches deriving from Conqist Thought later came from Enlightened Cheggism. The first was Cheggism with Conqist Characteristics, and the second was Conqist Thought on Cheggism with GS Characteristics for a New Era to guide GS through the GS Road to Cheggism. Cheggolicism was founded in response to these new movements, seeking to end Conqist ideas.

By early-2021, Gestism had taken root and was promoted by Koe and Conq. This movement argued that Gest was a person who deserved close to the same level of glory and worship as Chegg, if not just as much. The Cheggolic Church was deeply opposed to the embrace of Gest, leading to members of the Cheggolic faction fighting against Gestism. Koe and Conq's poor attempts to spread Gestism led to the Anti-Gest revisions by roughly November. Following this, Gestism would be weakened once Koe decided to leave the mainstream Gestist faction, creating his own called Koeism. His sect still considers Gest to be a holy figure nearly as much as Chegg, but agrees with the Cheggolic Church that British Cactus is not a saint due to his Brennite associations.

Branches
Cheggism was once centred fully on Chegg. Free interpretations of Chegg was encouraged and worship of Chegg was universal yet tolerant of its varying ways. However, classic Cheggism would give way to multiple new sects of Cheggism.

Enlightened Cheggism
Enlightened Cheggism originated in GS6 when Cactus took control of GS6 and ended it. He began being worshipped as a new God by some members of GS, but his association with Brennism made this version of Cheggism deeply unpopular with other members of the server.

Conqist Thought
Conqist Thought describes two sects focusing on Conqist thought started by Conq, deriving from Enlightened Cheggism. The first sect was called Cheggism with Conqist Characteristics, and was universally hated.

After a huge backlash, Conq created a new sect called Conqist Thought on Cheggism with GS Characteristics for a New Era to guide GS through the GS Road to Cheggism. This new movement was derided by pretty much everyone else in the server as well. Chegg's brief endorsement of the movement caused several members to leave Cheggism altogether, though her backtrack eventually led to everyone embracing Cheggism once again. It is considered heretical by most of GS excluding Conq as it explicitly states that as of GS7, Cactus was more important than Chegg and Conq was a key figure of this new movement. Conq's occasional claims that he was a second coming of Chegg made this movement even more unpopular.

Cheggolicism
Cheggolicism asserts that there are only two figures in Cheggism, Chegg and Mexican Cactus, with the latter being inferior to Chegg. It is deeply opposed to Enlightened Cheggism and was founded almost solely to counter Conqestantism, which it saw as heretical and a desecration of Cheggist principles.

Gestism
Gestism derived from Enlightened Cheggism and was founded by Koe and Conq in late-2020, arguing that Gest's important position in leading to the creation of GS warranted him a position in Cheggism alongside the two cacti and Chegg. The Cheggolic Church would smash down on Gestism during the anti-Gest revisions, succeeding in stopping Koe and Conq from spreading Gestism further.

Koeism
Koeism derives from Gestism and was founded by Koe in early-2021, believing himself to be the "messenger of Chegg" due to him possessing Chegg's personal contact details. Notably, despite being traceable to Enlightened Cheggism, Koeism disavows British Cactus and agrees with Cheggolicism that his association with Brennism prevents him from being a saint of Cheggism.
