The fact that activating the rings will be the end of life as they know it is in reality irrelevant. They have priests, they have faith, they have a purpose. It is a pretty elaborate religion, and the prophets speak of a great journey.
Wether this journey is wrongly interpreted, or if there is some sweet release in death is irrelevant. It is not a "most dumbest" religion, that's for certain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but: Priests, goal, prophecies, purpose. That's pretty much the defining traits of any modern religion.

Isn't that Christianity? I could be wrong, but from an objective perspective, religion is basically speculations and interpretations. Don't get me wrong, I love religious people and I love religion. Praised be God, but you are using this very generic description to lay out a religion in its most bland of form.
"They believe in God. They worship God. They know nothing, but assume much. lol, what a stupid religion"
