Reynists

Reynists are adherents of Reynism, a fictional philosophical movement that appears in contemporary literature and media. The term is derived from the name of the fictional thinker Reyn, who in the narratives is portrayed as promoting rational inquiry, ethical responsibility, and empathetic civic life.

Core beliefs attributed to Reynism emphasize critical thinking, openness to new evidence, nonviolence, and service to community. Dogmatic authority is rejected in favor of dialogue, consensus-building, and transparent reasoning.

Practices described in the works include public study circles, debates on ethical questions, and voluntary service projects. Local groups, sometimes called study circles or houses, organize events and publish discussions online.

Origin and dissemination occur within fictional universes of multiple authors; Reynism is used as a literary tool to examine how communities form around ideas, how authority is exercised, and how engagement with social issues is imagined.

Scholarly readers treat Reynism as a case study of fictional religion or philosophy, noting its function in exploring belief without historical evidence of real-world practice. There is no verifiable organization or membership outside the fictional works.
