Sorry, there's no religion in Mass Effect.
Ashley williams would have to disagree. She believes in god. and apperently so does my shepard since he gave the line "You know the phrase: there's no atheist in a fox hole. I've been a lot of foxholes."

Meh, Shepard doesn't need God on his side, he's Shepard.
That, however, is just silly - are religious people only able to pray if they announce their faith to literally everyone they meet? Or is Ash the messiah who confers the power to pray on believers?Now i only think this should be allowed if you are playing a Shepard that has been imported from ME1. Also your shepard would have had to told Ashley that s/he believed in a God.

Religion
Turians believe that groups and areas have "spirits" that transcend the individual. For example, a military unit would be considered to have a literal spirit that embodies the honor and courage it has displayed. A city's spirit reflects the accomplishments and industry of its residents. An ancient tree's spirit reflects the beauty and tranquility of the area it grows within.
These spirits are neither good nor evil, nor are they appealed to for intercession. Turians do not believe spirits can affect the world, but spirits can inspire the living. Prayers and rituals allow an individual to converse with a spirit for guidance or inspiration. For example, a turian who finds his loyalty tested may appeal to the spirit
of his unit, hoping to reconnect with the pride and honor of the group. A turian who wishes to create a work of art may attempt to connect with the spirit of a beautiful location.
Turians enjoy absolute freedom of religion and can practice whatever appeals to them so long as it does not impede anyone's ability to perform their duties. There are many practitioners of the asari siarist philosophy. Since opening dialog with the human Systems Alliance, some turians have embraced Confucianism and Zen Buddhism.
In the past, turians believed that titans strode across Palaven, reaching for the heavens. They worshiped these deities and communicated with them at a structure called Temple Palaven. The temple was tended to by a religious order called the Valluvian Priests, who wear special purple robes which obscure their forms. In order for turians to join this order, they had to be considered worthy enough through some action.
When the turians spread out from Palaven and discovered other life among the stars, however, they sealed Temple Palaven because they no longer needed legends to prod them upward. With the temple abandoned,
eventually the Valluvian Priests fell into legend.

As long as every religion known to humankind can be included, why not. Personally I am agnostic/atheist, so I could care less about belief systems.
Exactly. My Shepard follows the Qun.
yes.. this.. please! lmao:happy:Eckswhyzee wrote...
More dialogue options = better.
We should also get a line where Atheist Shepard says "O MAGIC MAN IN THE SKY PLEASE STRIKE DOWN THE SPACE CTULHUS. lol jk let's kick some ass."

marshalleck, jreezy - You do know that while Mass effect is science fiction.it is not an alternate reality akin to the Final Fantasy games or Dragon Age: Orgin.

Rambling and incoherent, culminating in a picture of Superman for some reason. Didn't read.ubermensch007 wrote...
Err... Right okay
One of the things that makes Mass Effect so fascinating is how great a thought experiment it is.Future human explores find alien technolgy on Mars.reverse engineer it and aquire the ability to traverse the stars.
Mass Effect is set out from its "Genesis" to be the world we know - only a century or two in the future.
The notion that in a mere 170 plus years time - there will be no religious devotees on or from the planet Earth.Is more absurd than how the Mass Effect novels keep going on about how people with natural blonde hair and blue eyes are nearly extinct in the 22nd Century <_<
And here i thought most if not all Sci-Fi aficionados sought the fabled VERSIMILITUDE that Richard Donner sought when he was making Superman: The Movie.[Off-topic image removed as spam]

These threads always attract the rabid secularists that proceed to fling insults because they stand on a mountain of smug intellectualism, however unfounded their mount may be.
This is why we these threads suck.
This is why we can't have nice things.
