xenogears had religion.

I wouldn't like more religion anywhere

Well, as a preference, I would prefer to see less references to actual serious religions. I don't mind fictional religions or non-serious religion references (like to the cult of Cthulhu, or whatever). Being a irreligious person living in the West (and even worse (worse in terms of the topic at hand), living in the U.S.A.), I feel bombarded with Christian ideas and perspectives in all the other forms of media (TV, movies, even books, etc.), mostly thanks to the combined power of a primarily Christian population and Christian hegemony. So it's real nice that most video games don't have these types of ideas and references incorporated into their stories/lore/whatever. I mean, I'm a big boy, and I can completely disengage myself from such references, but it's just more enjoyable if I don't have to deal with it in the first place :P

Now, fictional religions, especially in fantasy, are totally fine with me, even interesting since they embody the magical realism that most religious text are based upon. In this sense, if religions were real that would be cool (well if the gods were benevolent), seeing avatars duke it out in heavens, priest being able to cast bad ass spells, that's cool to visualize, imagine, and in the case of video games immerse yourself in that sort of world. But when it comes to the real world I firmly believe in physics (although I have to say, physics in video games is a force to behold as well :P)

I feel like I'm ranting and not making much sense, so I'll stop. I haven't played Party of Sin or Revelations but I think those both have religious undertones? Adam's Venture trilogy definitely has some and I have played that. It also seems like the Indiana Jones style games (Adam Venture's is under this category in subject matter, but ironically isn't a good example since the religious aspect seems to be more underlying than any other narrative) have religious themes too, and in that sense those games are okay since it's more of a infatuation with history and not so much the religion itself. Okay, shutting up for real now.

Islam is the real and only religion, and no it´s not good if it showed in games astagferullah.

This is going to become a giant spam/flame war because you brought religion into it.

NO WAY!

My religion is Rock and I play Rocksmith :P

Sometimes i have a feeling i can also do crystal meth but then i think "hmmm better not"

Well, though I'm not of any religion, not even atheist (yes atheism is religion too, all that bitching about other religions and stuff, though as I said i'm not believer, I hate it), I really like the history and catechism of Christianity and I wouldn't mind explore it in games from some kind of non-dogmatic, purely objective (which ofc doesn't mean atheist) point of view.

If you mean religion like it's used in the Assassin's Creed or Civilization games, sure. It's a factor, but it's not huge and it's obvious (if you aren't a news agency) that it isn't reality.
If you mean religion like Cult: Awakening of the Old Ones... that's just sort of awesome. Give me more of that.
If you mean religion in games that read like a Dan Brown novel... nope.

Only if it gets consistently shat on and debased throughout the game. Especially if it's some kind of organized religion. A lot of the basic messages in most religions are quite alright (i.e the ten commandments, though I'd rather no one commanded me to do anything). Just not beyond that.

Controversy is a double edged sword, and can sometimes turn the wind in favor, or bite you in the ass, that's mainly reliant on how the plot is handled and how religion is involved in the game itself.

That said, i don't mind if religion is involved or not in a game, it mainly relies on how the story develops and if religion actually has a place into the plot itself (Assassins Creed comes to mind), other than that, i have no beef with religion or lack thereof.

Totally. All the games should praise our lord and saviour GabeN, as he is our only God and the Steam EULA is our Holy Writ.

I'm ok with fictional religions in games. In fact, I do enjoy games with them, if they were done right.
Order of the Builder, The Keepers and Pagans from "Thief: The Dark Project" are excellent example.
Also, The Path of Virtues from Ultima universe was inspiring when I was a teenager.

The Elder Scrolls games have a nice mixture of video game religion and it's effects in actual gameplay.

A video game of an existing real life religion? Well, maybe some elements could be borrowed from real life religions, but I might find it uncomfortable to see someone else's view of religion if it's not brought out in a comfortable way.

i want more satanic rituals in my games!!

Binding of Isaac :]

I don't mind it at all, actually I enjoy games with religious concepts, they are quite interisting.

I'll gladly take more religion in video games if I can see less of it in real life. Religion should be relegated to fiction where it belongs.
