If you can come up with a single descriptive statement about your religion,
it can serve as a starting point for the ad-hoc process I described in
http://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/preproom/buildculture.html

The statement doesn't even have to be specifically theology-oriented; just
make the statement(s), then take it (each one) and ask "why is it this
way?" and/or "what are the implications of this?", write down the answer,
and repeat the process for each new statement.
