Waqua is a religion founded by Marcel McNeese. He proposed an idea that religion should be based on the things we can see and feel that we know for a fact give us life on a daily basis. Many agreed with this idea and so Waqua was born . It worships no gods, but instead worships the inanimate object water. This is because water realistically is the giver of all life, and without it life on Earth wouldn't be possible.  Waqua has spread across the world and those who practice it live near natural bodies of water.

Holy Sites of Waqua include rivers, lakes, and oceans. None of these can be man made, they all must be natural. Sections of the water must be set aside for those of the Waqua religion to worship in. People of other religions are not allowed to go into the set aside areas for those in Waqua. This is because it is believed that those of other religions taint the water and make it less suitable for those in the Waqua community. Sections of water are set aside using buoys usually in a square shape. This marks the area that only people of the Waqua religion are allowed to go into. This section is also guarded 24/7 as to keep the quality of water to the standards of the Waqua religion. The sections are cleaned regularly by those in the Waqua community.

Since Waqua isn't a spiritual religion, their source of evil is the people around them. The people who try and taint their set aside water because they don't agree with the beliefs of the Waqua community]]> 2021-01-20 22:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/s1650764/h1gorss5uh8buqhe/wish/1107970083 s1650764 https://padlet.com/s1650764/h1gorss5uh8buqhe/wish/1107971222 3.
The structure goes as follows :
-Leader of Holy Water Site
-Leader of Rituals
-Followers
There's isn't much structure because the whole idea is to flow and move freely like water. ]]> 2021-01-20 22:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s1650764/h1gorss5uh8buqhe/wish/1107971222 s1650764 https://padlet.com/s1650764/h1gorss5uh8buqhe/wish/1107971851 4.
Their source of belief is science. Factual evidence that water makes the world go round (figuratively). But the fact that our body consists of mostly water, the world is made up of mostly water, and nature needs water to thrive and survive.

The path of salvation is to follow the set ideology on a daily basis, as long as it doesn't interfere with your flow. You must stay in a body of water for 3 hours a day or more in order to reach your ultimate destination.
The true ultimate destination is still unknown. But most say its to become one with the water, and become one with the flow.]]> 2021-01-20 23:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/s1650764/h1gorss5uh8buqhe/wish/1108042448 s1650764 https://padlet.com/s1650764/h1gorss5uh8buqhe/wish/1108080469 8.
- Water Floating Contest: This is a contest held every Friday as an event open to all Waqua members. The goal is to see who can float on the water the longest, and the one who wins is named, "One with the water." (Floating as in laying on their back and floating on the water)
- Water Breathing Contest : This is a contest where participants compete to see who can hold their breath under the water longer. This is held every Saturday after the Water Floating Contest, and the winner is also named "One with the water"
Holidays
- In Ocean bodies of water, they have a celebration for the flowing of the waves. This is celebrated whenever the waves are strong and they believe it will bring good things to them. Its celebrated by simply enjoying time in the water when the waves are strong.
-Another holiday is on the first day of every month, they clean their section of their body of water. This is to help it remain pure and clean of any impurities.
- They praise the full moon when it comes out, as they see it as the prettiest form of the moon that deserves praise. As well as the fact that the moons gravitational pull creates the tides.]]> 2021-01-21 00:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/s1650764/h1gorss5uh8buqhe/wish/1108080469
