OOC: Religious Overview
Halbjorn is oddly not very religious. He believes absolutely that his place, and that of all the Asgardians gods is to defeat the evils of the world, and leave the world a good and proper place with better gods than the selfish and frequently evil current ones, and that'll be a good religion. All the trappings and services and everything else that don't relate to that purpose, or asking the gods for a bit of help now and then are kind of pointless. He only even attends Asgardian religious stuff because its a family obligation, and there's usually beer, ale and mead.

Lucas is a shaman and medicine man in training. He is fanatically devoted to his quiet, peaceable religion. There's other gods and such out there, sure, but they're only as good as their deeds make them out to be.

Jordan is a quietly very devout Catholic with all the guilt. He almost believed that the sickness that hit him for most of his life was some kind of divine punishment for his parent's wickedness. Becoming almost totally invulnerable has completely messed with his mind, and left him with a bad case of survivor's guilt and a need to try and help the people around him, especially those suddenly less fortunate than he is to make up for it, and gives thanks every night. Despite which, there's some sins he hasn't quite overcome yet. But then that's what confession is for, right?

Sarah is much like her father, a non-denominational Christian who believes more in living a good and virtuous life and being her own good example than needing to make a show of it or hear anyone else's interpretation. She believes there's other gods out there, but doesn't worship them so much as just respects them. Not entirely positive if being a lesbian is a sin or not, in the same way as she's not sure if its the good all-American thing to be or not.

Iason is not religious at all. The gods are beings of a different sort of energy and makeup, but things existed before them, and most of those are also constructs of one sort or another. Closest he gets to belief is respect among equals, or seeing things as forces of the raw universe, which will exist and carry on regardless of beliefs.

Andrew is a practical agnostic. He'd like to think there's something out there, but almost prefers it be a mystery. His tendencies when exposed to religions of various sorts tends to be analytical studies and trying to find the common cultural origins and the like. Trying to codify God is kind of pointless, except as it gives people who need it a code of behavior and morals to live by.
