      Egyptians did indeed believe in the afterlife. Osiris was as example the God of the Underworld. Also to add to this and it is in debate that they did believe either in going to an underworld or leading to a path to the stars in the afterlife. On top of this many pharaohs believed in an afterlife where they returned from death and hence they were mummified with all their possessions and what they believed important in the human body. Hence they both believed in a different dimension or world of where you go to die and they believed in returning from the dead. Probably also a pretty significant belief to have since some of Cyberpunks story revolves around such stuff like Johnny's revival. In terms Cyberpunk makes tons of references to connections to death and rebirth. Including Kojima who made Death Stranding. However on the contrary the Cyberpunk belief you mention seems more to following Atheism with some spiritual aspects.

    And the Islam part quite interested me...

      There kinda is. Buddhism has a unique relationship with the cyberpunks of Night City. Their philosophies don't really mesh, with the cyberpunk solo lifestyle really is all about making money and moving up in reputation through lots and lots of violence and Buddhism being, not that, more about enlightenment and other things the common cyberpunk straight up can't grasp, especially Buddhism's view on no cybernetics. However Cyberpunks still help out or work for Buddhist and other similar groups, because the Maelstrom gang sees Buddhism's no augmentation philosophy as weak and actively go out of their way to kidnap monks and forcibly augment them. Solos rescue and defend monks mostly for money but also because they either hate Maelstrom or just don't think attacking people for their religion is cool. A lot of people converted to Buddhism during the collapse of the US because it offered and alternative to the rising violence and the cyberpunk philosophy.

There does seem to be a number of potential quests involving Buddhism though: the monk you rescue from Maelstrom forced augmentation in one of the first street kid quests, a potentially Buddhist monk wearing some kind of corporate robes at Arasaka towers (Arasaka might be trying to infiltrate religious groups and make them pro-corprate or just see some value in some kind of peaceful solace for their ultra stressed out workers), and there seems to be some religious sites throughout Night City for many religions that could have missions attached to them.

    The last cult sounds like something straight out of the Cthulhu Mythos. The universe of Lovecraft is based on the idea that the universe is ruled by evil entities who perceive human beings with indifference where man is utterly hopeless against them.

    • @henrydikes6704
      @henrydikes6704 4 года назад +1

      Yeah but in Lovecraftian mythos, ALL Gods are evil and humanity has no hope against their will. The fellowship against the gods seems nihilistic, but their entire goal is to fight against the perceived evil Gods they hate and put benevolent ones back into power, the fact that they do this in and of itself goes against Lovecrafts central philosophy regarding horror, in that there is no escape and no way of impacting anything if it is against the gods will. And that's super depressing, so even though they seem violent and kind of fucked up, I personally think the fellowship against the gods is my favourite (specific to the Cyberpunk universe) religious entity on this list, they seem cool.

In the cult however, there is a chance to fight evil, like you said, which is what makes it different to the typical Lovecraftian story. You get a feeling of nothing-mattering-in-the-grand-midst-of-things feeling in Lovecraft which I believe somewhat reflect the members of the cult. To a certain extent, of course.

      I agree they're not races, but they have tribal/racial elements to them. Judaism, though it allows for conversion, does not promote it or encourage people to convert, which means it has the general character of a tribe or race. Islam is obviously much more diverse, but the Arabs are clearly the dominant racial/cultural group because the whole religion is so focused on the Arabic language as well as on pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina. It's unavoidable that these religions be associated with race.

    i thought islam would be like gone forever or somethin in the game, but yeah kinda wierd + cool to see islam being famous atleast in some part of the game, brings more depth in the game when ur religion is implemented into gaming, might not be new to christians, but others kinda yeah, although ik islam resides in almost every shooting game. anyways lookin forward to playing this, tbh i think they are releasing way more gameplay than they should

      Cyberpunk history diverted from our history around the 1980s after the fall of the USSR and the rise of the Gang of Four in the US (CIA, FBI, NSA, DEA). The US spent decades in central and South America until about 2005 literally fighting a war on drugs. A lot of different things happen and most Americans either became more involved with their own religions or converted to new ones like Islam. There was a nuclear war in the middle east and a big part of cyberpunk Islam is whether or not the radiation near Mecca (which survived) should be cleaned up or if it's a sign.

      Islam became a big religion in America in the cyberpunk world during and after the collapse. Pretty much every major city had at least on major mosque.
