a lot of people worship their games but
who do the characters in those games
worship and if you think too long we
know you’re not ready welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be ranking
our picks for the top 10 fictional
religions in video games permission grab
for this list we’re only considering
religions that were completely created
within a video game and only one entry
per franchise make sense caution number
10 the Daedric Prince’s the Elder
Scrolls series I and the Spirit about
just one pimps of the glorious star that
your kind calls her see a universe as
big and deep as Elder Scrolls can’t just
settle for a single deity many people
that live throughout the lands of
Tamriel believe in the Daedric princes
the most powerful of the Daedric
entities and worship them like gods my
glory shall protect you from all this
world’s grievances it can be argued
whether the daedric lords are good or
evil as they have a twisted sense of
morality and exist on a plane completely
above the mortal races
I am the guardian of the unseen
of the book the Daedric Pantheon is
somewhat similar to Greek and Roman
Pantheon’s as each Lord represents
certain concepts or states of being such
as ambition discord or madness these
things each it’s just a book I number
nine the founders BioShock Infinite how
profit fills our lungs with water so
they may betta love the air the major
political party in the city of Columbia
the founders try to model their beliefs
and ideals off those of the founding
fathers of the United States
just cuz acidifies don’t mean it ain’t
got its fair share of fools through a
kind of crazy hyper Christianity the
founders worship their leader Zachary
Comstock like a demigod often referring
to him as the Prophet I told you
Comstock you saw imparied eyes and the
customers expect cherubs for every Shaw
the founders actually believed that the
gifted Elisabeth will succeed her father
when he passes away and will help them
tear down the lower world to rebuild it
in Columbia’s image wait let no fall
Shepherd into our flock show him what we
got planned boys number 8 Church of the
children of the atom
fallout 3 welcome welcome to Megaton in
a world that’s essentially ended a
hundred years ago it’s natural that some
people would seek solace and religion hi
I guess you’re right found in the first
main city of Megaton these people are
led by the twisted confessor Cromwell
please child come to the judge any time
any time at all sounds pretty
straightforward right well here’s the
twist they worship the giant active but
unexploded atomic bomb in the center of
their town he is coming with the clouds
and every eye shall be blind with his
glory their beliefs are at least a
little bit thought-provoking
as they believe that inside each atomic
bomb lies a new universe that means that
they see the great war that ended
civilization as we know it to be a
monumentally holy event and
one worth celebrating come forth and
drink the waters of the globe for this
ancient weapon of war is our salvation
number seven the order Silent Hill
series it’s time to mankind to be
released to the shackles of sin which
bind them most of these religions are
pretty grim but you knew that there was
gonna be at least one straight up
doomsday cult on this list the time has
come you can kill her now inhabiting the
city of Silent Hill in Maine the order
is a doomsday cult that believes in an
incarnation of God that will destroy the
world when she is reborn both of God and
build an eternal paradise the order
justifies its actions as they don’t
believe in good or evil only chaos and
order
yes and that’s why we need God while the
order originated in the Silent Hill
series its ideals are a mishmash of
Christianity Aztec rituals
native-american beliefs and Japanese
folklore now Elissa there’s nowhere else
to run number six loss in lumenarrows
Resident Evil 4 my name is awesome and
Sadler the master of this fine
the religious community resident evil
takes religion head-on the main
antagonist in the fourth game los
Illuminatus is a cult that sprung up in
rural Spain most Illuminatus that’s a
mouthful
members of las illuminatus are
responsible for capturing the u.s.
president’s daughter so that they could
infect her with the parasitic las Plagas
that’s playas while seemingly disgusting
to you and me hold spiritual
significance to lhasa lumenarrows who
believed it as the key to their
salvation I wouldn’t want my special
guests on the island feeling unattended
as such in order to fully believe you
have to accept the parasite through mind
and body don’t you think this is a
revolutionary way to promulgate one’s
hmm number five the Brotherhood of Nod
command & Conquer series behind every
successful religion is a successful
leader and nobody symbolizes this better
than the Brotherhood of Nod and their
enigmatic leader Cain I have always
believed that faith was measured in
deeds not words a militaristic
organization that can trace its
existence back to 1800 BC nod came to
prominence in 1995 after the discovery
of type Iria the time has come to
destroy GDI members of the Brotherhood
see Cain as an immortal prophet who will
lead nod to the next stage of human
evolution with Tiberium being their
catalyst the Brotherhood remains
stronger than ever our commitment to
Tiberium undying religion and evolution
doesn’t sound right but they are the bad
guys after all and with your help we
will continue to spread the gospel
number four teachings of yeven Final
Fantasy 10 life is but a passing dream
but the depth that follows is
never has a single religion been so
powerful in a single world the main
religion of almost everyone Inspira the
religion is named after you yeven who
was a summoner a thousand years prior to
the events of the gate NTS that is the
essence that we have the teachings
prohibit the use of any form of
mechanical technology referred to as
Makana as it said that their usage could
lead to the birth of the giant monster
sin who has ravaged the world of Spira
for centuries
aren’t those weapons forbidden by heaven
there are exceptions this is of course a
false teaching used to keep humanity
from gaining the ability to defeat sit
who you yeven himself has actually now
become it is a cycle of death spiralling
endlessly number three the Covenant halo
series we swore to up all the coven
eaters your dying breath
Seymour as a military brigade most
people wouldn’t believe that there’s
actually a method to this madness the
council decided to have you hung by your
entrails and your coats paraded through
the city as the different races that
make up the covenant forces are bound by
a unifying belief they all believe in
the forerunners a superior race that
hasn’t existed in thousands of years the
forerunners were a wise highly
noble people and with a belief in
justice in peace they bravely faced the
adversary they accepted that the
forerunners discovered a way to
transcend past the physical world and
become divine via the construction of
the halos an array of weapons scattered
throughout the galaxy this does turn out
to be a huge misunderstanding
as the halos are actually designed to
wipe out all life in order to contain
the flood but that’s where you come in
chief you look nice thank you
