mrmonochrome asked: Hellooo you. In my original plan for my world (a sort of AU mildly steampunk Victorian-based British Empire) I decided that - since I wish the world could be this way and felt that sticking with old religions was a bad/controversial idea - there would be no major religions or religious bodies, with people taking a much more individual approach to their faiths. However, my friend thinks this is unrealistic given the Victoriany setting and religion's impact on society. I'm now torn between pursuing my original idea or instead creating a major religion (or religions?) of my own. The only religious body that already exists in my world is a brainwashy underground cult that worships an unknown Ice Goddess. Since my world is also full of ice this is the only kind of god I can imagine being a main god, but I feel awkward adapting a deity originally intended for cultists. Do you have any words of wisdom on what I should do?

worldweaving: Hi Ryn! :D (This guy's a friend of mine). Hmmm, this is an interesting question! Maybe you could do this: If you want to stick with everyone having their individual faith, you could make a focus on having faith in the first place, as a main part of that society? It'd be something that'd be expected of everybody, and great emphasis would be placed on things like "finding your path" and devoting themselves to their spiritual search. And maybe if there were people who didn't, it'd be frowned upon? That'd be a way to still have no standard religion, while having religion still be prominent in society. If you go with that idea, that society could also take it too far. For instance, if you've got that cult, they could be doing bad things to other people and brainwashing, but the society might tolerate that because it's "done in the name of faith" (similar to atrocities tolerated because they were done "in the name of the Lord"). Those people might think that having faith (in whatever you have faith in) makes you a moral person, no matter what else you do. I guess you'd basically be replacing God with faith in general, and seeing how society would run that way.

You could also have a major religion, and I think in my religion post, I have a list of things to think about when you're creating a major religion. I'd probably create something other than Christianity, if this is an alternate, Victorianish universe. I think if you do pursue the original idea, where everybody has their own faith, it might be a good idea to modify it like I said above, where society places an emphasis on faith in general rather than in a specific god (otherwise, if you're writing a society that is based upon a lot of religious stuff, it won't make sense). Hope that helped!
