[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 916247, member: 151"] Several things are made clear about the Centuari: [list=1] [*]They exterminated (i.e. Genocide) every other culture and a second race they shared Centauri Prime with (known as the Xan) [*]The Centauri believe in 'house gods' and the ability of ancestors to rise to divinity. On several occasions, mentions are made of relatives or powerful individuals becoming revered dieties (again, simliar to medieval Japan) [*]The Centauri, like the colonial Deists, believe in a Great Maker, essentially a 'great clockmaker' who doesn't actually affect daily lives...that's what the house gods do. [*]The worship of individual gods is similar to the Romans, where you pay them respect, more than actively worship them, per se. [/list=1] The Narn have several religions, although only one is detailed beyond lip-service...by necessity. The Minbari are the victims of so many other races abuse (from the Vorlons to the One himself), they just want to find some sort of stability. The Vorlons...well, they're the Vorlons. We know they revere the old ones, but that's about it. The concept of 'gods' may be something they don't accept. As for humans, well...B5 was lauded for it's even-handed treatment of religion multiple times, particularly for things like standing shiva (sp?), and showing multiple religions in a positive light, as opposed to letting them fall into classic stereotypes. YMMV.[/list] [/QUOTE]
