Religion

 The highest is the One. This is basically the One of Plotinus but I am not really a student of Plotinus. All things exist in as much as they are a unity. Matter is the farthest thing from the One. Matter is not necessarily evil per se but it lacks the unity of higher things. Also, in as much as material things become fixations they are evil. The One doesn't really have a will, it is more a source of power for those who are able to tap into it.

Below the One is the Demiurge. The Demiurge is sort of evil. The Demiurge wants to usurp the power of the One because he believes that he is the creator of the universe. 

Then is the God of Games and the Adversary. Basically there are many paths to the One. Humanity is not really capable of comprehending the One in all its generality so it is necessary to take a path. The God of Games is allied with the One while the Adversary is allied with the Demiurge. The Adversary is the God of necessity particularly physical necessity. The Adversary has to do with the needs of survival and the work you have to do to survive. The Adversary is the God of drudgery. The God of Games is the God of joy and freedom.

The God of Games and the Adversary are locked in a struggle called The Great Game. This is a game that takes place across all of reality. They are neither omnipotent nor omniscient. They are merely very skilled at this Great Game.

The individual soul must seek some kind of unity. The soul is eternal. But in successive lifetimes it can come closer to matter or closer to the One. For those who are devotees of the God of Games the path obviously involves playing games and trying to become more skilled. But it is very difficult if not impossible to escape from the power of the Adversary. Most gamers have to make concessions to the Adversary to greater or lesser degrees. Even those who are professional gamers still have to make many concessions to the Adversary.
