EDIT: Downvoted for asking questions?
I'm opening a can of worms, I know, but I imagine that in terms of religious faith, Demacia wouldn't have followers of Nagakabouros. They might even consider such a deity a "blasphemous" concept.
So... is there any sort of religion used in Demacia? Or is that sensitive information that Riot won't release until later?
ModKnightsKemplar2 votesPersonally, I hope it wouldn't be TOO similar, although that depends on what kind of Christianity we are talking about.
Christianity is becoming increasingly decentralized, so it's hard to make generalizations like that.
Ever played D&D? I imagine their "religion" as being followers of Bahamut. You can look up what that entails elsewhere, but it basically involves justice and protecting the weak.
Christianity also has some of that, but in particular, the God of Christianity is portrayed as merciful. I don't see Demacians as being particularly merciful. They believe in swift, absolute justice.
redniwediS1 votesI actually really like the Bahamut reference. I stand by what I posted already in this thread, but what you said does make a whole lot of sense.
ModKnightsKemplar1 votesYeah, I don't disagree with your position. It could go either way. I re-read her lore before posting, to make sure I didn't miss anything, but I feel there is some room for a religion, as long as it doesn't conflict with the state. Any religion that opposed their laws would be eradicated, obviously.

Noxians are better for Christianity I would assume. One of the original Noxian Faction borders I remember had crosses or crucifixes in their symbol.
redniwediS1 votesPersonally I don't think there's room for religion in Demacia, unless you consider their complete and total adoration of their king and views to be a religion. A lot of parallels can be made toward real life organized religion, but I don't think there's anything more. They are an absolute monarchy and religious beliefs could cause a citizen to side with their beliefs instead of their leadership under rare circumstances.
This is, of course, taking our current knowledge of Demacia into account. Until Fiora's new lore came out there was no evidence of Demacia being patriarchal, so who knows. All I know is if there is a religion in the RL sense it is state approved, and there is only one allowed.
Valaran Nara1 votesChristianity...eh...I would assume it'd be a form of Catholicism which was more of a widespread thing 17th and 18th century Spain, England, and France.
Ebonmaw Dragon1 votesThey DO have religions, how many? I dont know, but Aatrox is seen as a "God" or something like that for some Demacians (Aatrox Justicar)
And they also believe in 
Kindred... however, i doubt that they have a "GarenJesus" that spinned for their sins or something similar.
Peridition1 votesI see Demacia having a pantheon of gods rather than a singular religion. They probably have a host of gods. Some with obscure followings. Others probably more popular thoughout their culture.
Sharjo1 votesWell one Demacian religious figure is the Veiled Lady, who seems to be linked to the afterlife specifically, which I personally take as a more somber perspective of life after death, as it's hidden behind a veil. I'd imagine Demacian religion is more like the doctrine presented in the crusades more than modern christianity, and by that extention, their religion is probably way more about actively bringing about what they believe to be good in the world.

Crusaders massed murdered people over greed, wealth and fortune as the Pope commanded them to do. Read Crusader sack of Constantinople and the attack on Jerusalem during the First Crusade. BTW Byzantines were their fellow Christians but were Greek Orthodox and they were put to the sword.
To be frank, the Crusaders did the will of the Pope not the will of Jesus.
I am not Christian by a long shot but I could easily tell that the Crusaders did not follow the teachings and moral ways of their Jesus when they went on the Crusades.
And guess what happened in the end? They got their asses kicked by some dude named Saladin and thrown out of the Levant. Where was their God then?
I don't see how you could compare them to Demacians at all. The Crusaders were nothing like Demacians.
Rebonack1 votesChristianity, if we're going on the core tenets, isn't a terribly great fit for a people who focus primarily on station and duty (with a healthy helping of corporate good).
I would argue that basing their religion loosely on Hinduism would be a much better fit.
LordHippoman1 votesI wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of "divine right" justification for the Jarvan line. Some sort of religious background would probably help reinforce the monarchy that seems to be the backbone of their social system.
