Calormene religion

The Calormene religion was the official belief system of Calormen, an empire within the World of Narnia.

Pantheon
The Calormene religion was polytheistic, meaning that it contained multiple deities. The best-known of these deities was Tash, the powerful patriarch god who had a vulture-like head and four arms.

Two other named deities in the Calormene pantheon were Azaroth and Zardeenah, the latter being a goddess of the night who also watched over unmarried women.

Description
While The Chronicles of Narnia do not describe the Calormene religion in great detail, they offer a number of clues that give insight into the belief system:
 * Tirian described his childhood visit to Tashbaan and noted that the temple of Tash contained a statue of the god.
 * The Tisroc, the Calormene head of state, claimed descent from Tash, and Aravis Tarkeena mentioned that her father's family was "descended in a right line from the god Tash".
 * Aravis described a ritual performed by Calormeme women in preparation of marriage: the bride-to-be would go into the wilderness and perform three days of ceremonial sacrifices to Zardeenah, as an indication that they were leaving the goddess' service when they married.
 * It was mentioned that the calendar of the religion included an Autumn Feast (the time Aslan decreed that Prince Rabadash must stand in the temple of Tash to be cured of his donkey's form).

Interpretation
Based on this information, the Calormene religion seems to be a formalized belief system, with specific rules and rituals. Tirian's story illustrates two key points; that the religion had established centers of worship (at least within Tashbann), and that it made use of idols (at least of Tash).

Calormene religion was tied into the structure of the government (though Calormen is not a "theocracy"), at least insofar as the Tisrocs claimed to be descended from Tash.

Trivia
It has been widely speculated that C. S. Lewis was comparing the Calormene religion to Islam (though its followers, Muslims, are strict monotheists, not polytheists). Lewis, though, praised aspects of Islam in some of his works, and the name "Aslan" is a Turkish word (meaning lion).
