"Allotheism - defined as the worship of strange gods - is based upon the sole principle continuously chaperoning mankind's amelioration: To ambitiously forgo the habitual liberate humanity's potentiality! Still for this artifice of evolution to prosper it is but essential to disunite with any biased animosity against heterodoxy and even iconoclasm lest one be entangled in as forlorn as fatuous devotion. Hence convert."

Have fun.
