What is Nummism?
Nummism is the culmination of 9.5 millenia of cat
worship. Our deity, Numm, lived on Earth as an adorable Canadian
shorthair named Dr. L. S. River. He was also
known as NummNumm, in imitation of the sound emanating from an HB pencil as
he chewed upon it.
Following NummNumm's ascension, his disciple Plasma Tigerlily Zoya became
Numm's next earthly representative. By this virtue, she held the title
High Priestess of the Numm. Plasma gained renown for her piety, prudence,
comforting sermons and the
enduring motto, "We must resist biscuitism." She was styled
Plasma Tigerlily Zoya, High Priestess of the Numm, Ultra-good Woman,
Ultra-good Spiritual Leader.
Plasma has also ascended and has passed the High Priestesshood to her
disciple, Sanibel Delphinium Andromeda. Sanibel is an eminent Nummist
social scientist. While crusading against biscuitism and other social
ills, she champions feline, human and fluffitarian rights. She also finds
time to give her leadership and mentorship to the Nummist business
community. She is styled Sanibel Delphinium Andromeda, High Priestess of
the Numm, Defender of the Faith, World's Best Boss.

May Nummists use idols?
Scholarship on the matter is obtuse but
seemingly innocuous, so we don't see why not.
