Religion skills consist of 3 things, [[faith]], [[favour]] and [[alignment]]. Alignment basically says whether you are good or evil, this is determined by the actions you do. Some [[gods]] won’t accept your [[Praying|prayers]] if you are evil for instance. Faith is a measure of how much your chosen gods like you, e.g. how much power they bestow in you.
