I think that Logos would be more of ideals than religions. To some extent, every religion asks for reciprocity and respect for others. How to do so, and what rewards exist for doing so changes. A socialist/communist or Anarchist concept is as good a means to center on as relgious infrences.
For a while now, I've been trying to find a place for Christianity in one of my games. It stands as one of the opposing factions, the opposite of the "Human Purity Project" that stands for transhumanism, genetics research, and the like. On one hand, I belive that it would be a major influnce should there be an exodous from Earth, but I feel bad since they come off as antagonists the way my story-line is going, and I don't want to offend anyone. (Its treated as a "faction", as is techinicaly the Brazillian branch of Catholicism. Other Factions include the USA, China, and the KGB/FSB)
Not that I think its particulary bad to offend. This a creative excorcise afterall. Still, Ideals would be safer.
There is a fine line between hobby and obsession. I seem to have lost sight of it some time ago.
Ideals - or relgion?
