Cainites

The Cainites or Cainians were a heresy allegedly venerating Cain and celebrating him for his sins, described by Irenaeus.

In popular culture
• The book Demian, by Hermann Hesse, extensively draws upon the beliefs of the Cainite sect. The eponymous character Max Demian even convinces the protagonist Emil Sinclair that Christianity had misunderstood Cain's virtue over Abel's. • The sect is mentioned by Lucifer in The Sandman #22 when talking to Cain in Hell, noting "no greater percentage of them turned up here than of any other religion". • The sect is included as a dualist heresy in the computer game Crusader Kings 3. • The Cainites are featured as antagonists in the Spanish HBO series 30 Coins. • In Vampire: the Masquerade, the Cainites are re-imagined as a heretical vampire sect that persisted secretly into the Middle Ages. ==See also==
