Well, here's the song the flutters sing on "Sun Tuesday", the day of their festival.
From the sun comes light,
From the sun comes power,
It's the sun up high in the sky
That makes the flowers flower.
From the sun comes warmth,
From the sun comes daytime,
It's the sun and its light gleaming bright
That brings the fruit in Maytime.
Winter, summer, spring, and fall,
The sun shines through it all.
From the sun comes warmth,
From the sun comes daytime!
Here's to the sun up above--
From the sun, from the sun, from the sun
Comes love!
And the second part of the song, sung at the end of the show:
From the sun comes life,
From the sun comes power.
When the sun starts to rise in the sky,
The flowers start to flower.
From the sun comes hope,
From the sun comes laughter.
With the sun in its place we'll embrace
A happy ever after.
Summer, winter, fall, and spring,
It makes the whole world sing.
From the sun comes hope,
From the sun comes laughter,
Here's to the sun up above--
From the sun, from the sun, from the sun
Comes love!
Okay . . . The stuff about the sun making the flowers flower and giving warmth and daytime is literally true. But since they're saying the sun is the source of hope, laughter, and love, I would say that the flutter ponies do indeed worship the sun (not to mention they do have a Sun Festival and a shrine built to the Sunstone.)
But the flutter ponies were so isolated from the regular ponies (until the movie) that the other ponies probably wouldn't have the exact same beliefs. Personally, I've always thought the "regular" ponies worship the rainbow.
