Username - If I may have the luxury of quoting myself, from my Civilization 3 FAQ posted on GameFAQs in 2001, although I've had the username awhile longer (first used on that same site in March of 2000):
"The nice thing about religion in video games is that it's non-denominational. If you're a Christian, imagine your people devoting their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you're a Muslim, imagine your people bowing toward Mecca and sending their prayers to the Great Allah. If you're an atheist named Dave, imagine that the little peons on the screen worship their Lord and Savior the Great Lord Dave. Imagine that their lives revolve around preparing for the Coming of the Great Dave to save them from the evil clutches of All That Which
Is Not Dave. Whatever gets you through."
