    Atheism
    The longer I live, the more I read, the more I know, the more I watch our world, the more I like Atheism and the same goes to in game world, despite I can talk to divinities there.
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    Meridia is the One True God, may Her light bless you.

    All other forms of religion are a blasphemy.

    I have nine characters, 3 Dunmer, 2 Bretons, 2 Argonians, 2 Khajiit. So I have several answers, one of which is not on the list.

    I identify one of my Dunmer as Ashlander-descended. Daedra worship is not on the list.

    My Argonian is a follower of Sithis and Peryite (he's a member of the Whet Fang), my Orc follows the code of Malacath but both also praise Hermaeus Mora as did most of my characters in Skyrim

    The forum poll code is too limited at 10 choices to cover all of the possibilities.

    My ragtag company of characters tend to secretly follow either Hircine, or Lamae Bal.

    I wish Faction Reputation was a thing in this game, because my characters have an affinity for witches, werewolves, and vampires, and would align pretty strongly with the Rageclaw Clan of the Reachmen.

    Hello, Bearbelly and sorry for I have not included your options to the list :)! When I was formulating the question of this poll I kept in mind two definitions:
    1. Religion is a specific form of the dominant social consciousness, mindset and perception of the world supported by local church and state, and followed by a corresponding behavior and specific actions, based on the idealistic belief in existance of sacred and supernatural phenomenons.
    2. Church is an extensively organized, hierarchically bureaucratic social institution of political power exercising a religious monopoly and closely allied with the state.

    Features of a phenomenon can change in time, but the definition describes a phenomenon as the process, it doesn't change in time like those features do. So, this is just my definition of religion, it might be right, it might be wrong (we may discuss it privately if you feel any necessity in it) - nonetheless the options I chose to pick up were based on these two definitions. So, when I had been deciding to include, say, the Ald Redaynia cult devoted to Sheogorath or any other such cult, or some personal beliefs like "I follow the Green Pact except it's Meat Mandate", etc., I compared it to the definition of religion I gave above. If it didn't correspond at least with one word, then that cult was not considered a religion within that definition, because in order to correspond to a given phenomenon the object should correspond to it's definition entirely.

    This is the actual reason fellow players can't find those various Daedric Cults, different personal beliefs devoted to some Daedra, etc. Honestly, I was not aware the forum code restricts the number of the options to 10 positions :). Though I have to say, I'm glad we all see the very same thing named by the very same word that differently :). Gods seem to like variety both in our universe and in the universe of TES :).

    Altmeri Religion
    Fun topic!

    So of my six toons, here's what I envision their beliefs to be:
    1. Wood Elf Warden: He's loosely pantheist and tends to be believe in Yffre the most, coming from a Green Pact background.
    2. High Elf Sorcerer: He's a sorcerer, so he doesn't really worship anything. He's a follower of the Old Ways of the Psijics currently.
    3. Breton Templar: He follows the loving embrace of Dibella and her priestesses. Azura isn't bad, either.
    4. Imperial Dragonknight: An imperial's imperial. He follows the imperial religion, with Akatosh above all. He's also sympathetic to Zenithar.
    5. Redguard Nightblade: He's a nihilist. Too many years of military service hardened his heart. Sithis seems like a cool concept, but at this point he just likes stabbing.
    6. Dark Elf Necromancer: No strong religious beliefs other than might-makes-right. Like many dunmer, he believes life is a test and Necromancy is a powerful tool for self-empowerment.

    It’s almost stupid to not have your character believe in a god when most of them actually talk to you/appear to you.

    And personally I like the imperial pantheon the most because it takes the best bits of each cultural religion’s gods.

    Half my toons are Bosmer, so they're religiously cannibals.

    The other half is Khajiit. Is harfing up furballs part of any known organized religion? And if so, does dogma require them to do it on the carpet?
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    Other: Agnostic.

    While they are aware of the existence of the gods, and may at times assist or resist them, they do not worship any of them.

    Not so much and atheist as agnostic, why should she bother worshiping any god when there are still things to do and places to see, gold to loot and monsters to slay?
