Starfield: Complete Religion guide

There are three religions that you will get to choose when creating your character, and each of them has its pros. These pros can be useful while exploring space, and each will help cater to a specific playstyle. Hence, many in the community are in a fix as to which religion they should go for when booting the game.

Today’s Starfield guide will go over everything you need to know about the Religions in Bethesda’s latest RPG.

Every Religion in Starfield

As mentioned, there are three religions that you will be able to choose between in Starfield's character creation. These are:

• Raised Enlightened

Once you have locked into one, there is no way you will be able to shift to another religion during the narrative, so it's important to carefully pick the one that will help your playstyle the most.

Here is more insight into each religion and the buffs they offer.

Serpent’s Embrace Religion in Starfield

The Serpent’s Embrace Religion religion is a unique one out of the lot. It’s a cult that worships the Great Serpent. It will not provide you with chests full of items. It will, however, let you have two bonuses:

Which Religion should you be choosing in Starfield?

The religion you pick for your character will depend a lot on your preferences. However, it seems that the Serpent’s Embrace is more popular among community members because it provides a significant bonus to combat and exploration.

However, if you want books and other useful items, you can go for either Raised Enlightened or Raised Universal. All religions are viable in Starfield.

How to leave your religion in Starfield?

While you may not be able to switch to a new religion, you can leave it. To be able to do this, you will need to make your way to the head of churches for the respective religion and open up a dialogue.

There, choose the “I’m not sure I want to be a part of (Enlightened, Universal, Serpent’s Embrace) anymore” option, and you will have successfully left it.

The Raised Enlightened and the Raised Universal ensure they have obtained their specific rewards before choosing to leave their faction.
