While Nanotrasen takes a hard stance against practitioners of certain faiths, the vast reaches of space are home to a number of more or less peaceful religions that employees are free to follow. One may select their religion and deity while setting up their character.
As a chaplain: Your choice of religion will determine the title of your Holy Book. If you decide to choose a religion not recognized by the game's code, your starting Bible will be renamed to "The Holy Book of (Your Religion)". The name of your deity affects certain in game lines, such as those automatically spoken when performing an exorcism. The power of (deity) compels you!
Some religions have incredibly bizarre beliefs. Remember that your religion is not a license to grief.
List of Religions
Christianity
Deity: Space Jesus (by default), Christ, God
Holy Book: Bible, The Holy Bible, The Dead Sea Scrolls
Christianity is the default, and presumably most common religion in the vast reaches of Nanotrasen controlled space. Christianity comes in Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox flavors, though many bizarre and fun heresies exist. Some stations come with wine, communion wafers and confessional booths for the aspiring Christ follower.
Chaos
Deity:Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, the Ruinous Powers
Holy Book:The Book of Lorgar
And what are the achievements of your fragile Nanotrasen? It is a corpse rotting slowly from within while maggots writhe in its belly. It's your job to convert these maggots by worshiping your Dark God of choice. Follow the Blood God, the Plague Lord, the Changer of Ways, the Prince of Pleasure, or all four if you're not partial to divisions.
Cthulhu
Deity: Cthulhu, Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, the Great Old Ones
Holy Book: The Necronomicon
Offer supplication to the Great Old Ones, acting as their mad prophet. The unbelievers are deluded, milling about their daily lives without realizing that they are less than specs of dust to the Old Gods. Succeed in spreading your cult throughout the station and perhaps you will be eaten first when ḩ̴̐̐e̷̙̪͌̏ ̸̫͊͜ã̶̳w̵͍̝̓a̶͍̤͆k̴̫̓ė̶͉̭n̴̍ͅś̶͍ ̵͖͚͆f̴͓͖̕̕r̴̟̀̕ó̸̀ͅm̵̛̬̈́͜ ̷͙̎ḩ̵̂í̴͎̍s̸̫͛̇ ̴̮̩͋́s̷̗̳̓l̴̓ͅͅu̷̥̝̎m̸̖̅͝b̵͖̾e̷̠͛ŗ̶̼̈.
Imperium
Deity: the God Emperor of Mankind
Holy Book: Uplifting Primer
We fight in the name of the Emprah! As a follower of the God Emperor of Mankind, it's your job to root out Chaos and any sinister threats wherever you find them. No xenos allowed.
Islam
Deity: Space Allah
Holy Book: Quaran
Spread the message of Allah as revealed to his Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)! It's hard to pray towards Mecca when you're in space, but Allah rewards those who struggle in his name. Remember, Islam is a religion of peace, so you should avoid violent Jihad if you're not an antagonist.
Satanism
Deity: Satan, the Prince of Darkness, Lucifer
Holy Book: The Unholy Bible
Sacrifice virgins atop unholy runes you drew on the floor in crayon! Be blasphemous and attract new followers using the seduction of a life of hedonism freedom from traditional religion.
Scientology
Deity: the Eighth Dynamic, the Supreme Being, Xenu
Holy Book: The Biography of L. Ron Hubbard, Dianetics
Tired of your boring life as an upwardly mobile 30-something living in a major metropolitan area hi-tech space station? Are you looking for a spiritual connection? Try out Scientology! Hold workshops and self-help seminars to convince people to join your burgeoning new faith.
