Thelemites

Thelema is not a religion, it is a magical philosophy. Anyone who wishes to embrace an established religion is free to choose one, but Thelema is not one of those.

Defining characteristic

I will remove people from this category (and its sub-categories) for whom their faith is not a defining characteristic. Probably people from earlier centuries are more likely to stay in based on this extra condition.
