my own experience in the game
people above understood the topic and did not change the subject
they talked with respect within the boundaries of the topic but you did not. you just started to laugh about people who believe in God
Guys if you want to talk about god, existence and religions this forum is not for that. I wish you understand me.
Itās fictional, google it.
Any religion in game has no direct reference to any real world religion to avoid setting players against each other due to real life beliefs/politics. So the best thing to do is keep real life religion and real life politics out of a fictional universe.
EVE Online offers a sandbox since 2003 where everyone can create their own fiction either based upon the lore or parallel to it or even stories that are conflicting with the lore. Can you explain what is holding you back and who told you not to make your own fiction?
No deity intervenes in this game. There are only references in the lore.
TLDR: What a horrible low effort post you made thereā¦

Bob demands a penance, heāll accept an exploding shuttle containing 3 exotic dancers at the nearest star, and 3 hail Chribbaās.

I pray Bob for penance. I will fly my shuttle into the deep darkness of null. My ship will be purged from the plane of existence, itās wreck salvaged ferociously. My pod will burst with eternal flames as my lifeless body instantly freezes over, free to be picked up by any capsuleer to use for his own pleasure. Bob will smile as the blasphemy will be obliterated with the rebirth of a clone where my consciousness will be transferred to with the blessing of Bob.

You have generated a decent volume of chat, so intended or not, congratulations.
And you are right, we cannot make something from nothing, and words are only keys to unlocking existing definitions, and do not carry any other intrinsic information.
Europe before the EU is the Europe however imperfect in my mind when I think of it even now. What has become of what was I donāt have the definitions for, not having lived through them but from afar. So I donāt recognize it. To me it became muddled, watered-down, the lines blurred, unique cultures lost.
My closest handy analogy to EVE is the EU as it is now (to me), in all ways a fuzzy blur. No real borders, no culture, nothing to build for but oneself, and nothing to fight for but oneself.
What Iād like to see in EVE is forced roles; for example if youāre Gallente then you have a role in Gallente culture, a role in Gallente building/support, and a role in its defense. I wouldnāt have 200 odd different boats in the hanger, as with wealth should come responsibility to your āpeopleā, and I do not have the playing time available to give that. I could likely give destroyer or cruiser time at best, so would not be all that āhighā in Gallente society. And thatās as it should be if we want to play a game anyway and not just participate in a really expensive way for everybody to cheat at the same card game.
And likewise, if I turned against my culture I would be treated more harshly as a ātraitorā than if I committed the same crime against the same person, as a āCaldariā, because āā¦thatās just the way those Caldari areā¦ā Ie a Gallente ganking a Gallente would be a far more heinous crime than a Caldari ganking one, and so should lose status to much greater degree.
Somebody knew this in EVE when it was envisioned, the 4 main factions are all the necessary proof. But like the different cultures, even the ships lost definition, and where they couldnāt be adjusted the chimeras, the pirate ships, the T2 and T3 boats, etc were introduced.
From inception when it must have looked so clean-cut on paper, to now when every player can be a god if youāve got the bucks, and no matter what you fly or where you come from, thereās nothing that boat canāt do within a certain point of view.
So I think you should ignore the politics so as to avoid being the āodd nailā rising up higher than the rest (so begging for a hammer), and stick with a group of friends. If you do not want to ignore the game politics, then any politics you do āmakeā I feel strongly should be sourced from your racial faction so that others will have a place for your ācharacterā in their minds and so possibly reinforce your role-playing enjoyment.
As far as religion and politics being mutually dependent, I have not thought enough about that to venture. I have always appreciated one of Heinleinās quotes about politics, and pretty much feel it applies to religion also:
āPolitical tags ā such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth ā are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.ā
Again, good luck.

ok 
(you shouldnāt have flagged him, donāt think that counts as offensive)
(ahmed, you shouldāve waited until I refuted him, so you donāt have to delete that. That is correct.)
Pretty sure people think of him as the all powerful being. He may or may not exist, but it is easy to imagine an all powerful being. For example, magic may or may not exist, but we can imagine fire, and a person, so a person going avdakedavra and then creating fire is magic.
Just imagine that, but add all the powers of the world to him, and you get God.
I guess it could be too much trouble to do (especially to update), but what if NPCs did refer to the larger blocs.

First one I understand, second one I donāt, third one I do. But thatās pretty good.

If you read the right fantasy, the second one makes perfect sense. Bamboozle the muggles by pretending the advanced magic is just technology.

Indeed, and some even go to the extreme of using both the first and the second versions of Clarkeās 3rd law, in the same books.

We need a more colorful man to lead one of the empires. Maybe, an orange coloured man?
And then the narrative can be, orange Man bad.
