Making all the fractions tenths, here are Sensuret's main religions. Common is the belief that the lost Gods will return, Worship of Three is the belief in Eranis and three others, and Other is the wolves that solely worship Eranis or don't care.
Common- 5/10 of the pack (A half) Worship of Three- 4/10 of the pack (Two fifths, almost a half) Other- 1/10 of the pack

In this religion, (Worship of Three, as stated above- I'm just explaining it) there are three deities worshipped- a sun god, an illusion goddess, and a meteor goddess, named Farian, Camina, and Chasma. They are all associated with different celestial bodies, as well as the elements of fire and air. Eranis is also believed in as the giver of the elements, but the other deities are usually given priority over him due to their control over nature, in the legends. Sometimes, Chasma is said to ask Eranis to bestow certain powers upon certain wolves.
----------
Chasma is the most important deity in this religion. She is said to be the mate of Farian and the mother of Camina. Traditionally, she is worshipped as a meteor goddess, since she is closely associated with them. It is believed that each meteor is sacred to her and a gift from her heavens to the mortals, and may sometimes even hold wolves or her herself, as well as precious metals seen sometimes not even in the heavens, only in her realm. For this, she is also considered the patron of smiths. Although worshipped as a meteor goddess, her sphere is said to hold most of outer space, and she is said to exist in a starry realm of the heavens, sometimes said able to be seen as the northern star.
Chasma herself is said to look beautiful. Her pelt has a black base, with a thick, almost cloudy ring of orange around it. Hues of various blues, greens, purples, and reds make up other ones of these cloudy rings, imitating some celestial phenomenons, such as northern lights. It is also said that small, shining dots can be seen over these hues, imitating stars. Chasma's pelt very realistically imitates that of the sky, at least when she chooses to use her true form, according to those who have claimed to see her.
----------
Farian is a sun god, and the old god besides Eranis worshipped in this religion. He is said to be the mate of Chasma and the father of Camina, as well as the one who figured out how to make Camina immortal. He is said to have a pelt made up of pure golden fur, with a thin layer of golden but harmless fire around his fur. He is said to have a sort of pure, very clear aura around him that all wolves can easily feel. Farian is also said to be immune to fire, and live in a separate dimension of the heavens with seven suns.
Farian is supposed to represent purity and light. He is said to be the patron of priests and priestesses, but also represent pride and determination. He is closely tied to fire and air, fire more so.
----------
Camina is said to be the demigod turned goddess daughter of Chasma and Farian. According to legend, Camina was born a demigod with two god parents, and Farian figured out how to make her immortal. Since then, her true form has been that of a black wolf, who's pelt almost appears to be of pure shadow and has a red aura around her. She is worshipped primarily as an illusion goddess, but also as a goddess of shapeshifting, darkness, and ever since the gods disappeared, death and war, to an extent.
Some say that she was the alpha of Sensuret before being called back to the heavens when the gods disappeared to run the place where the good ghosts gone bad go- the Deathlands, her followers sometimes call it. Assuming it's okay with Riv, this is actually true. However, some still worship her more traditionally than how her worship has changed over the year since the gods disappeared. She is closely associated with tricks of the light, and both of her parent's realms, as well as the moon. She is said to be a powerful shapeshifter, being able to turn into another wolf, an animal, add things onto her own form- practically anything. Some now fear her for her new connection to death.
