Religion
You may select your religion at level 8 by going to the temple of the religion you wish to join and completing a knowledge test. You may only select a religion once and this choice is permenant. Despite the permanency, it may be beneficial to choose your religion immediately, as the stats it provides will help you while leveling. You may also wish to join a religion after subpathing, as you will lose your religion-granted stats when subbing to your new class (although stats can be bought after mastering). However, priests should also choose a religion, as you must be a priest to obtain a religious relic.
You may also pray to the Gods within your trinity. That is, you can pray to the allies of your chosen God, at their respective temples, in order to gain their prayer benefits, but you cannot perform any altar activities, such as item consecration.

Considerations
While there is no clear choice of which religion to take, the following are some things to consider:
- The initiation benefits provided by Cail, Deoch, and Glioca will improve your mana and health as you level.
- Fiosachd's prayer provides group stealth and may be useful when taken by a Rogue or White Bat Monk, as they will be able to stealth their party and themselves (using their own abilities).
- Glioca's prayer provides a 1 minute Dion effect, which may be useful if you do not have access to Dion.
- Luathas' prayer provides a temporary +5 intelligence, and may make certain stat builds easier. However, you may also join Cail or Gramail and still pray at the Luathas temple for this effect.
- All of the prayer effects, except for Luathas Gnosis (+5 Int), appear to be copies or variants of priest spells.
- If you are a priest, the relics of Cail (teleportion), Fiosachd (stealth), and Luathas (Fas Spiorad and MSBG) provide you with interesting benefits.
