Question

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 (-5[1])(“tah-SHEE-rah”) Mendes adapted this religion’s pillars of (*) order and progress for the national motto of Brazil. This non-theistic, secular religion was founded to spread the ideal of “living (-5[1])for others” by a thinker often credited 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]0[1])
