Religions and Cults

Various religions exist in the post-apocalyptic Fallout world.

Enduring pre-War religions
Some basic pre-War religions and belief systems are still active after the Great War. Various denominations of Christianity still exist and have been scattered into even more splinter groups, such as Saint Monica's Church seen in Rivet City and the Abbey of the Road, a monastery somewhere west of the Commonwealth. There are some pre-War religious movements like the Hubologists in both Boston and California and Mormons in the southwest United States. In some areas of West Virginia, such as Point Pleasant, the Cult of the Mothman worships the cryptic and remains hostile to outsiders. Followers of Dharma also exist, with Aradesh as an example.

New post-War religions
After the bombs fell, many new religions also came into being. Just before the war, and soon after it, many doomsday cults were created, one of which eventually became the Children of the Cathedral who were situated near Los Angeles. The Children of the Atom in Megaton, The Nucleus and the Crater of Atom have a warped view of nuclear weapons, viewing them as a sort of deliverance. More violent members of this group appear in some locations in the Commonwealth and the nearby Island in Maine.

Tribal religions
There are also as many tribal religions like Sulik's tribe, that worship their ancestors and many others deify the nature, or particular plants or animals like the Vipers, Hangdogs or the Point Lookout tribals. Some natives of the Pitt worship Ishmael Ashur, Lord of The Pitt. The residents of Oasis in the Capital Wasteland developed a religious system around the love of nature. The Sorrows previously revered a spirit known as "the Father in the Cave", based on distorted cultural memories of survivalist Randall Clark. More recently Mormon missionaries like Daniel have converted at least some tribe members to their religion but the Sorrows began to associate their legends with figures in Christianity, allowing the belief to persist blended with their local beliefs.
