Religion in Arcanum Null is, in one sense, absolutely fundamental to everyone's daily lives, and, in another sense, nearly dead. Passion-enhanced worship forms the basis of the high-magic economy, but as the gods power has become a commodity, normal worship has quickly and steadily declined over the last few generations. The churches are powerful economic entities, but their role as the arbiters of morality, the guardians of the souls of the masses, has dropped almost entirely to the wayside. The "priests" of the Church-Mills spend their lives worrying about power-token quotas, not divine scripture, and the masses of Atathorn use the names of the Gods as conveniant curse-words, and little more. Sincere worship unaided by Passion is looked at as mildly worrying eccentricity. | Religion in Arcanum Null is, in one sense, absolutely fundamental to everyone's daily lives, and, in another sense, nearly dead.
