About one third adhere to Christianity (primarily the Discipular Church) and one fifth are Muslim (predominantly Sunni). Off-reservation, a greater number of Qódava are Coscivian Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, or Ibadhi Muslim.

===Kulukusi===

The '''Kulukusi''' are a native [[Punthite]] ethnic group indigenous to southeast [[Varshan]]. In ancient Punth, the Kulukusi built a rather sophisticated civilisation with an advanced understanding of mathematics, astronomy, agronomy, and metallurgy, but saw their civilisation destroyed and territory conquered by the Varshani God-King Burusho IV, concluding a centuries-old conflict between the two peoples that was at least partially rooted in the religious differences between [[Draft:Arzalism#Solar_Arzalism|the Varshani worship of the Sun]] and the Kulukusi reverence for the Moon. Despite a genocidal campaign of mass slaughter, human sacrifice, and enslavement, the Kulukusi were able to survive as a distinct people by fleeing into the southern and south-eastern mountain regions that form the southern boundaries of modern Varshan. During the [[Bootleg Wars]], the Kulukusi aided the Kiravian Army Rangers as guides, porters, orderlies, and auxiliaries in their fight against Varshan, finding common cause with the [[Coscivians]] who also have a long tradition of lunar rituals. In gratitude, the Kiravian and Azikorian governments have undertaken numerous programs to resettle the [[Kulukusi]] in their own territory.

Notable Kulukusi-Kiravians include Isimi Kunama, a leading academic authority on the Varshani language and culture; Kopúsan Sukúluv (Kulukusi: ''Kopuusa Sukuulu''), a member of the Intravian state legislature; and Lukyan Ilisapar (Kulukusi: ''Lukaani Iliisarapa'') a foreign policy advisor to the [[Shaftonist-Republican Alliance]].
