The story of Frank Herbert’s Dune is more than simply a typical science fiction work involving various planets in outer space. It’s a deeply philosophical tome that deals with various concepts such as war, imperialism and especially religion. The world of Dune is heavily influenced by its belief systems, all of which build up its cynical nature.The overarching beliefs in Dune are essentially corruptions of the Abrahamic religions, namely Christianity and Islam. Conversely, as the legacy of Paul Atreides continues, it gives rise to a new belief system through the God Emperor of Dune. From the series’ heroes to its fiercest villains, all of these characters’ actions are in some way driven by what they believe in.The creation of the Orange Catholic Bible was the result of the Commission of Ecumenical Translators, who saw the need for the religious text following the events of the Butlerian Jihad. This was a war between humanity and “thinking machines,” where the defeat of the latter saw humanity forever focused on keeping them from returning. A tenant of the Orange Catholic Bible was that “Thou shalt not disfigure the soul,” with another commandment admonishing the creation of machines in the likeness of man’s mind. This made antagonism to such creations a central tenant of the belief system, with the need to replace these machines also giving rise to the Mentat order.
