Dune I believe, but I didn't know there was a Zensunni and catholic. I might like to put down Zensufi, or Zensunni Mentat.

I don't know about Zensunni, but the major religion showcased in the Dune movies is Benejezzerit.

Dune... movies...?

From the book, I got the impression that the Bene Gesserit were more of a secret society than a religion.

As for Zensunni, the name makes me think it's a mixture of Zen Buddhism, Sunni Islam, and possibly other religions.

They are a cross between Nuns, the Spainsh Inquostion, the Vestal Vergins at the Orcale of Deliphi, and martial arts masters.

I think it's there they got the name from, at least.

The historical religion of the Fremen in Dune. It is connected to the Orange Catholic Bible (compiled by the Commision of Ecumenical Translators, or C.E.T). See the Appendix of the book for further info.
