Cosmicism is the belief that humanity is just a natural occurrence within the Galaxy and nothing particularly special. It focuses on logic and atheism above all and the respect for the unpredictability of nature. It is Existentialism taken to the extreme as all that humanity's destiny is chosen for them and every individual's life happens the way it does by the uncontrollably tides of fate.
You are born, live, and die. Your fate is sealed and you must accept how it must be for you live upon a grain of sand within the ever expanding Galaxy.
Cosmicism is heavily against progressive and democratic ideals as it believes that such ideals bend what a society and what humanity naturally should be. Such beliefs force different cultures to become one or bringing into The Western World a people or society that is backwater and would disrupt the natural balance of The West. Forcing these societies to conform to one another goes against their natural positions within humanity and the grand scheme of the galaxy.
