Being capable of separating yourself from your character is one of the fundamental principles of writing a narrative or individual.
Alexander Turner
Why not? Aren't roleplaying games all about playing people who are different to you?
As an agnostic, I love playing people of faith in RPG's. Faith is something I've never really felt in reality, so exploring it in a fictional context is fascinating.

I'm a atheist and I have huge disdain in how our society works.
I usually play paladins, warriors with code of honor, "For the imperium", and/or law & order characters.

I'm fascinated at this point. What are you hoping to achieve, OP?

Daily reminder that paladins are not clerics with bigger swords and technically don't even have to be religious. They're only strictly religious in Golarion. For sure, they will probably be religious due to being medieval knights in shining armor, but you're not any more a Paladin of Heironeous than you're a Rogue of Fharlanghn.
Now please remake this thread but about Clerics instead. Bait is fine, propagating dumb memes about how D&D works isn't.

Well in real life there isn't a demonstrable god, in fucking RPGs there is often demonstrable gods.

Why is the atheist mind so facile? No wonder all of the greatest minds of history have belonged to men and women with deep religious convictions like Sir Isaac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci and Rene Descartes.

This. I'm an atheist and I like playing clerics, because supporting role and questions of faith interests me. I see no dissonance in this.

Ill second that, Christian here and I often loath playing faith based characters. I play RPGs to break away from my real life. Hail master class wizard.

This. I don't believe in religion but I still find it interesting and like the idea of what amounts to a crusader with a hilarious amount of damage potential.

Can reasonably expect to do 66 damage in a single turn, 86 if you actually take the -5 to hit penalty with great weapon master at 5th level. Fucking glorious.

It's kinda depressing that he's so shy.

Why wouldn't you want to play a warrior who can turn their sword into a light elemental sword?
Austin Russell
He probably samefag as a sucker taking the bait.
Zachary Cox
He would only need to reply if the thread wasn't getting attention. But there will always be an idiot who is so triggered by OPs inane commentary that he'll take that bait hook line and sinker.

nice try OP
Jace Davis
In most D&D campaign settings, gods are proven to exist.
Not believing gods exist in the real world doesn't mean you can't understand the idea of fictional gods in a fictional world.

Can you seriously be this fucking autistic?
Adrian Ramirez
or at least understanding that your character is living in a different reality.
Like I get the player who is a genuinely nice guy, and for the life of him can't play a mean character.
That guy was also devote (but not pushy) Christian, but had no problem playing a worshiper of another god in game. Because the Christian god didn't exist in that world, and these other gods did.

Eh?
I haven't read enough Discworld to get the reference here.
Elijah Cruz
In that paladin's world the gods are no more or less real than he is.
Atheists in most fantasy settings are as illogical as theists in our world, but with the added problem of their being wrong being something actually provable.
That's not related to the Athar planescape faction, whose issues with existing powers are that they are not worthy of our worship, rather than that they aren't at least nearly powerful as they say they are.
Angel Jenkins
I don't know why I came in this thread but I'm glad I did. I love this image.
Alexander Ward
Why not? Most Americans are christian, but most D&D characters are pagan.

This kinda ties in to a ravenloft character idea I've had. In ravenloft, the existance of most gods is up for debate. Except Vecna. Vecna exists. He is a head of state. If you want, you can walk to Citadel Cavitus and see Vecna give a speech.
So my character idea is a very sad neutral good ex-atheist who now worships Vecna because he very plainly exists and to deny that would be silly.
Juan Stewart
I thought Vecna escaped from Ravenloft when he became a god. Does he go back to his old prison after becoming divine?
Xavier Kelly

Shy shitposters are cute! CUUUUTE!!!
Robert Edwards
Hook line and sinker.
You took that bait way to easily.
Wherther a god (or multiple) exist is a question that doesn't have a definite answer because our understanding of the world is fairly limited and we aren't able to find any evidence.
There are no absolute stances in science so the awnser is always agnostic I.e. there might be a God but we can't prove or disprove it.
Josiah Price
Nah, but any given ravenloft game is probably going to be in 2e times anyway.
While Vecna wasn't a full on god back then, he was a demigod, and could grant spells to clerics and so on.
And besides, a ravenloft character wouldn't know there are more powerful gods outside Ravenloft. To him, there's only one god that exists.
