 I am. It's the only force capable of ideologically fighting the Qun.

[Parmida]

Nope! I'm neutral towards it. People have their own religions. To argue and fight over it brings nothing but bloodshed and disrespect to people's beliefs.

I'm pro mage. I want mages freed. I don't want the Chantry or Templars destroyed. I want peace.

[RepHope]

I am. But I think the Chantry needs to have its secular power reduced, so it can stay out of politics and focus on the more spiritual side of life. Secular concerns weigh the Chantry down and has caused problems.

I'm Pro-Chantry even if I don't really believe in the Maker. I think they are a benevolent force that managed to forge societies of law and rule from where before existed only the rule of might both during the Imperium and after its fall. And they are the only ones who stepped in to protect normal people from mages.
It's not perfect, of course, but nothing is. The first PCs I play tend to mirror this view.

I'd like my character to be able to be pro-Chanty in the manner Elthina was: decent, moderate, and working for peaceful compromise. Hopefully not emulating her as far as being murdered, but hey!

[Enshaid]

I can roleplay a chantry supporter sure, but personally I pretty much see religion in general as a corrosive influence on society so my more self-inserty characters tend to be at the least skeptical of the Chantry's worth. HOWEVER, that's only because the Maker's existence is just as unprovable as a real world deity's at the moment. If they came out and confirmed that he is in fact real, I'd just be for reform in the chantry. We need a Thedasian Martin Luther.

[Nefla]

I generally play as pro chantry unless I'm playing a dwarf or Dalish.

Something I don't get is when people condemn the chantry for confining mages in the circle yet think the qunari and the qun are the best thing ever. O_o

What exactly has the Chantry done to protect people from magic?Aside from treating mages like monsters the Chantry has done nothing to help the people of Thedas fight demons or abominations.

There's this Group called "Templars", maybe you've heard of it...

This.

I'm an atheist, so most of my characters tend to at least be agnostic unless I just feel like roleplaying a religious character. In Thedas, the existence of the Maker, the Dalish Creators, and the Dwarven Ancestors is ambiguous so it can go either way. In a setting like the Forgotten Realms, I often play very religious characters (lots of clerics and Favored Souls) because the gods are 100% real and make their presence known.

Buuut when it comes to the Chantry, I take a default stance of skepticism and suspicion.

[septembervirgin]

Neutral yet avuncular to the Chantry. I would like my character to avoid harming the Chantry (and protect it from harm) but also to avoid granting it powers to police Templars and Mages directly. I have an idea that the Val Royeaux Chantry can serve as an educating and charitable force under the Seekers who prevent bastardization of its Chant and infiltration by the Tevinter Chantry as well as assist in finding the new Divine.

The Tevinter Empire will flourish.
Mages will rule again.
And the Chantry will be erased and forgotten.

...That's my inquisitor's goal.

[Vivienne de Fer]

As a religious person, I see the Chantry and faithful characters in DA as very relatable. (That's why I love people like Leliana, Sebastian, Elthina and Wynne) I'm a huge Chantry supporter.

My canon characters were both faithful Andrastians. My Warden was slightly pro-mage and aided Wynne, but is a huge Chantry supporter as well as a fan of the Templars -- though he does prefer his beloved Leliana's view of the Maker to the Chantry's. My Champion is an Affirmed Sister, for goodness sake. (she swore vows, only partly for her love of Sebastian) She supported Elthina's pleas for peace, but eventually sided with Meredith. (she was very merciful to the mages that surrendered, though, and always tried to find a peaceful solution to conflict up until Anders's stunt.)

In Inquisition, to follow my theme of Andrastian canon protagonists, I'll definitely be supporting them and attempting to strengthen it throughout.

Yes untill someone came along and said: al ur templars are now belong to us. And force fed them red lyrium

[KingGunDragon]

My warden didnt really care much for any thing but Morrigan ,killing the men who killed his family and stoping the dark spawn.

My Hawk on the other hand was a Templar. She was a faithful follower and would have likely been a zealot if it had not been for Bethany. It was her love for her family that opened her up to trusting character like Anders. Altho what he did at the end really set things back she still sided with the mages veiwing it as the Maker would not want them wiped out for one fools actions. She looked up to Thrask in some ways even tho she knew he was some what a fool. In the end she decided to carry on his view that templars she be protecting mages and fighting demons.

[Boradam]

pro-chantry 4 lyf braaaa

But really, I believe that in DA the Chantry is right fundamentally; but as always man manipulated the truth into a means of control.

[KingGunDragon]

My Inquisitor will likey be a Qunari who has escaped the Qun. He will have came to be a faithful Andrastians who follows the Maker. His view of mages will start off rather unkind because of past Qun teachings how ever he will likely change this view over time. He will still have a very strong Qun view when it comes to most things so he will likely come off as unkind and uncarring. In his eyes most of the waring faction will be viewed as fools. Though out his story I plan to make it a tale of redemption.

[Lord Raijin]

My Warden Commander was raised by the Chantry rules since he was 6 years old. He was taken away from his Kirkwall home to be sent to the Circle tower. He was programmed to obey the rules and the teachings of the Chantry, and therefour accepted his life in the circle. He became very nostalgic after he left the Circle with Duncan and headed to Ostigar to help fight in the blight. The more time he spent away from the Circle, the worst his nostalia became. He did eventually overcame the sickness, and adapted to life out of the Circle.

My Hawke mage was spared the programming of the chantry, and therefour wasn't as pro Chantry.

The Mercy of the Marker does not extend to Apostates, Maleficarum, or Heathens.

However given the choice of siding with the Templars or the Weak-Kneed and Mage-sympathizing Chantry, sorry Divine Justinia V.

Plus Templar armour is formidable and very stylish.

My human/city elf/mage/Orlesian Warden/Hawke characters are pro-Chantry.

My dwarf commoner sees it as an improvement over the dwarven beliefs but doesn't like it.

My dwarf noble hates it because it undermines his beliefs.

Dalish was boring so I never got around to actually playing it.

Pro Templar, cuz Pro-Chantrys are softies!

[ObserverStatus]

I'd say I'm more Pro-Maker than Pro-Chantry. The Chantry doesn't seem to have the stomach to do what's needed to promote his will.

[General TSAR]

Hell yeah!

You guys want to go on an Exalted March later?

I was actually planning on making a thread about how religion is approached in Dragon Age games (since they are in such a unique position with a pseudo-christian analogue featuring so prominently in the lore) but seeing the posts here, it seems that there's not much discussion to be had on the subject is there? I don't want to say that you guys have a bit of a narrow-minded view of it, but it seems that the well-structured applicability that Bioware has woven into the lore is wasted on the fanbase, which has a bit of a knee jerk reaction to any explicit faith.

Yes, the wisdom you'd bring would only be wasted on mental dregs such as us.

I'll have a pro-chantry Inquistor (maybe an ex-templar), I'll also have a pro-circle Inquistor and Inquistors who care little for either group......In real life I'm not pro either group, its seems a little bit silly to be pro a fictional group in a fictional world.
