#I've played with irl atheists and catholics and everything in between
#but it rarely feels like faith is a real factor for anyone-- DM or player
#outside of‚ again‚ divine spellcasters and Big Epic Plot Things
#I mean there are a couple of 'RAAAHGH FUCK THE GODS >:C' edgy backstory types but
#no one is just Normally Culturally Religious and it's WEIRD
#like it's not even a matter of faith in dnd! the gods are LITERALLY OBJECTIVELY PROVABLY REAL
#so what does that MEAN for the average person! how does it shape language? business? culture?
#where are the people wearing holy symbols like amulets-- or the way modern christians very casually wear crosses?
#blessings over meals? prayers before bed? burnt offerings?
#and like I enjoy thinking about world and culture building but I know that's A Whole Thing but even just like...
#it doesn't feel like anyone believes in gods at all except clerics and paladins
#like they DO because they factually exist but in the same way I 'believe in' like. the president of france.
#like yeah he exists and is important to some people but has no bearing on my life whatsoever
#that's such a fucking weird approach to the DIVINE in a polytheist world where those gods are YOUR CULTURE'S GODS??
#I am bad at this myself but I'm not religious so it's harder for me to remember what Being Religious All The Time Casually is like lol
#funny enough my character with the most intentionally religious background in this sense
#is one of my ones who's ended up wrapped up in Big Plot God Things lmao
#'aubree starts the campaign with a holy symbol of yondalla because of course she does why wouldn't she'
#'oh okay well she's gonna get deeply and personally entangled with a bunch of death gods immediately' fdkjghkdf oh!! welp
#you don't really pray to urogalan unless you're breaking ground for a new building or someone just died so it's STILL weird for her lol
#but at least I had the framework there of 'oh yeah the gods exist and matter to me and my everyday life and culture' in general
