religious utopia
Holy perfect society
A religious utopia is an ideal society organized around spiritual principles or divine mandate.
Such communities may be imagined in scripture, literature, or theology—or attempted in practice by groups seeking to live according to their faith: The Shakers established religious utopias throughout New England.
The concept appears across traditions, from the Christian City of God to various millennial movements promising heaven on earth.
