What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

[(Anonymous)]

Fictional as in not real-world and not actually practiced, outside of the occasional Jedi. What fantasy religion do you think you could follow or best fits your own religious world view, or just resonated with you? Or which one is the most interesting to you?

Oh wow. How clever.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure OP anticipated this kind of thing, which is exactly why they wrote "Fictional as in not real-world and not actually practiced, outside of the occasional Jedi."

But very clever. Too bad you didn't read the question.

The worst part is someone is going to think this is me. It's not, because I can actually read.

Lol @ people taking you seriously. Hint: the #rekt hashtag indicates a joke.

I liked the ff7 lifestream. Minus the super special cetra part

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

Final Fantasy VII's Lifestream definitely resonated with me. Both spiritually and as a religious explanation for the "afterlife" (if you will), it made so much sense to me that I think it actually does basically describe my spiritual outlook.

Fordism in Brave New World.

Nisan sect, Xenogears

I like the part where it encourages its followers to believe in themselves and to be nice to each other. Without all the scandalous molesty corrupt shit hiding in the background, that is.

The concept of the Sith isn't a religion, is it?

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

[(Anonymous)]

It's an expy of Christianity (for obvious reasons) but the Quintarian Church from the Chalion novels always seemed really well done to me - interesting, full of narrative potential, but also kind of surprisingly beautiful on its own terms. And the gods are mostly awesome characters. Especially the Bastard.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

Either the Bajoran religion from Deep Space Nine or The Force from Star Wars.. I also love the Valar and Maia from Tolkien, but I"m not quite sure whether that counts as as religion or not.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

This is not really a religion but I always liked how spiritual Bending was in Avatar.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

[dethtoll]

I really like Unitology from Dead Space. Not to follow, but because it hits on so much of what bugs me about religion -- the ritual, the dogma, the talismans, the secrecy and infiltration of government and other authority. It's also a death cult, which I find appropriate.

That it's modeled after Scientology is especially delightful, because Scientology to me is no worse than more established religions, it's just utterly more blatant about its stated goals -- to fleece its followers and expand its sphere of influence.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

[skeletal_history]

Honestly, A Song of Ice and Fire's Faith of the Seven Gods. I feel like all the aspects of life are covered with each god, the pageantry and formal ritual is right up my alley, and I love the concept of the Stranger. If I lived in that universe, I would become a Silent Sister.

I also dig the premise of the religion of the Seven coexisting with the "pagan" worship of the Old Gods.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

The Cult of Jashin. - Naruto. The religion we saw was fascinating and I wish we'd seen/learned more about it. It was so different from everything else in that world.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe the Bajoran religion from DS9. I really liked the portrayal of Kira's religiousness - as a religious woman I identified with her more than with most portrayals of my actual faith, for some reason.

Re: What's your favorite FICTIONAL religion?

[kamino_neko]

It's corrupt to the core, and arguably evil, but I have a weird fondness for Yevon. They have a lovely hymn, in any case. >_>

Irish Catholicism as depicted in Father Ted.

Late, but Earthseed, from Octavia Butler.

All that you touch
You Change.

All that you Change
Changes you.

The only lasting truth
Is Change.

God
Is Change.

The Way (

[(Anonymous)]

I suppose the Wayists from Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda didn't get fleshed out enough. The showrunner was fired and the actor playing the Wayist character had to quit.

But what we got was occasionally inspired:

My pain belongs to the Divine.
It is like air. It is like water.
All things belong to the Divine.

In the show, that meditation is particularly meaningful in the contexts of two different characters' pain, far greater than the pain I go through now.

It ended up being a big part of my personal philosophy for a long time. I have forgotten it lately, so thank you for this question, and reminding me of it.
