The official state religion and the purest expression of the Celestian ideology of love and tolerance (which in practice is really good governance and tolerance), with adherence being strongest among unicorns and near-universal in the capital of Canterlot as well as neighboring communities under strong Canterlot influence such as Ponyville and Cloudsdale. Nearly all scientists and magickists are High Celestian. Academics in general are, though there is a strong minority
