Pretty much this. This thread's done a good job so far at explaining how religion's been working out in Mass Effect so far.1136342t54 wrote...

I hope that they died out, having faith and believing in something it's ok... but organized religions have been always a factory of hate, bigotry, irrational fear, and death.
Yeah you really should not have posted that. Its bordering on thread derailment since people WILL have strong feelings about that statement and argue endlessly about it.

You know, I'm still absolutely convinced that you're putting this 'character' on for your (and our) amusement, and that you're actually the Professor of English Language at Eton University.

Eh we need some freaking entertainment on these boards that doesn't consist of trolls yelling about how Bioware is destroying the soul of the RPG genre.
It gets repetative.

Probably. Their culture is based around self-suficience and could probably continue no matter what happens in the rest of the world, barring some major ecological catastropher (meteor impact or nuclear winter).Eyerock wrote...

According to the first book, most people in ME are atheists.
I personally didn't read it but it's what others have mentioned.
Not exactly what Revelation says. It only gets into the subject briefly:Every major religion on Earth was rocked to its core [by the discovery of the Prothean ruins on Mars]. Dozens of new belief systems sprang up overnight, most of them based on the tenets of the Interventionary Evolutionists, who zealously proclaimed the discovery as proof that all human history had been directed and controlled by alien forces. Many existing faiths tried to incorporate the reality of alien species into their existing mythologies, others scrambled to rewrite their history, creeds, and beliefs in light of the new discovery. A stubborn few refused to acknowledge the truth, proclaiming the Mars bunker a secular hoax intended to deceive and mislead believers from the true path. Even now, nearly a decade later, most religions were still trying to reassemble the pieces.
and:The revelation that humanity was not alone in the universe hadn’t just impacted Earth’s religions, it had far-reaching effects across the political spectrum as well. But where religion had descended into the chaos of schisms and extremist splinter groups, politically the discovery had actually drawn humanity closer together.

I always assumed that religion isn't mentioned much in the ME series because humanity just moved past it once science gave way to aliens and mass relays. Hard to find the passages concerning Thessia and Tuchanka in the qu'ran or bible.

The only specific human religions I recall being mentioned by name in the games are Christian denominations. I want to say CDN makes a mention of Diwali festivities, so Hinduism is apparently still around too.

It does.
And Mordin is familiar with Hinduism:
"Wheel of life. Popular salarian concept. Similar to human Hinduism in focus on reincarnation."
Also, some turians are into Zen Buddhism and Confucianism.

If you want to play with religions there is Dragon Age.
Mass Effect is secular by necessity: Since none of the Earth religions mentioned Citadel Council, Mass Effect technology or Reapers, people like Ashley Williams are considered weirdos.

There's a lot of religion in the game. In alien cultures that is.
For human religions, there is Ashley and that reference from the asari customs officer "You can't even sort your own religions!". However, most games, even ones set in a modern or older setting don't bring religion up too much.

Because of how religion is severely ingrained into US politics, it will just end up the same s**tstorm, only with justifications of war included.
Also, as Didymos pointed out, a lot of them are mentioned. After the discovery of the Prothean ruins, I'm guessing a lot more people started buying Nike runners and drinking funny tasting punch.

Yeah I think they can't really press too much on that button or else it becomes too noticeable, and that my friends is the *only thing* barring a political ****storm in every mass effect thread.
