Simple question, but hopefully it generates an interesting discussion.
There are a lot of different religions in D&D, as every setting has unique religions and setting designers tend to enjoy adding a new twist or subversion to their world's version of religion. To list some examples. the gods of Eberron are not confirmed to exist and might be more myth than reality, there are Lawful Good cults that worship Vecna in Nentir Vale, and in Dark Sun there are no gods and religion primarily focuses on worshipping elementals or powerful mortals. Some settings lean more into making their religions unique than others, but I've yet to find a setting that didn't have a religion that I thought was at least an interesting concept.
My personal favorite religion in D&D is the Blood of Vol, mainly because how in most other settings they would be the objectively evil religion, but in Eberron they have some really good points, are as morally nuanced as every other main religion in the setting, and are just cool (they're transhumanist necromancers, what's not to like?).
So, which specific religion from a D&D setting is your favorite, and why?
Edit: to clarify, I mean a specific religion from a D&D world. Not a specific way of treating the world's religion (like having gods be unknown, real, or distant).
