Members of this religion may be celebrated seven years after death in its “incorporation” ceremonies, per a catechism translated by adherent Richard Congreve. On leap years, this religion celebrates a “Festival of Holy Women” in addition to the standard intercalary “Festival of All the Dead.” Codified shortly after the death of the founder’s Catholic muse Clothilde, this religion uses a calendar with thirteen months named for such great men as Moses and Homer. (-5[1])Raimundo Teixeira (“tah-SHEE-rah”) Mendes adapted this religion’s pillars of (*) order and progress for the (10[1])national motto of Brazil. (10[1]-5[1])This non-theistic, secular religion was founded (10[1])to spread the ideal of “living for others” by a thinker often credited (10[1])with coining “altruism.” For 10 points, identify this religion named either for its focus on the achievements of mankind, or for the sociological approach of its founder Auguste Comte. ■END■ (10[2])
