Maybe, but when he defeated Robert of Sable, he said "this has nothing to do with him, I'm just the better fighter" to King Richard, who replied "you may not believe in him, but he believed in you" to no objection, which indicates he is an atheist. Again, this is just assumption, he could be an agnostic, but more likely to be atheist
@@nomad1789 This doesn‘t mean exactly Altair was Atheist as none of both citations are proves. What King Richard would have meant was that Christ believed in Altair, yet muslims don‘t believe in Jesus being god
@@TovarischMakarov nah, God is one. And they don't say Jesus or Yahweh or Allah or whatever name of God they would, so God is the same. Moreover, his only explanation is "I'm just the better fighter", not "it's my God, not yours", prove that he's believing only himself. Beside, Altair burning Al Mualim's corpse shows how he doesn't believe in Islam whatsoever (even tho he really means to prevent Al Mualim's return). If any, that shall be either atheist or agnostic (more likely the former)
@@nomad1789 Altair not believing it was God's work but a matter of skill doesn't mean anything besides that. You remember Pulp Fiction? Jules was declaring that it was a miracle, Vega was skeptical about that one event... it doesn't mean he's an atheist or agnostic. Just that he doesn't believe in specific case of divine intervention... However, Altair, most likely IS atheistic in the end, as during Assassin's Creed 2 you collect codex pages and you see him being dismissive of all religions and being really scared of death, after which he doesn't believe in any continuation. He is also not shown being religious at any point, ESPECIALLY compared to very Catholic Ezio, delivering a requiem in Latin for his victims. I can also point that for all his desire for knowledge, Altair didn't get it all until he died. Only Ezio gets that there's something more beyond what we see in Revelations, as he recognizes the player existing, and accepts our inability to know things beyond our understanding. It was very creepy and I loved it. I need to finish relaying AC2 and read the entirety of Altair's breakdown. Needs all codex pages but I stopped playing a year ago, coulnd't stand Venice fireworks counting last hours until 4:45, and hearing real explosions outside my window. Anyway, remember the first game was released during Iraq war so a practicing Muslim would be risky for a playable character, I don't believe outside of France they would even dare to make a setting with Saracens as the good guys, though Crusaders are shown respectfully too, in Richard's case. They kept Altair's religion vague () to avoid any possible backlash from either side. AC2 onwards are braver games, as in, they're more open about characters convictions. I think Altair goes from Muslim (how he was brought up) to agnostic (events of AC1) to atheist (his later years by codex). Now Bayek is another thing entirely, deeply religious pagan-polytheist, to the point he justifies hate crimes against Atenian heretics that didn't worship multiple gods.
@@KasumiRINA I guess, can't really shows considering this game's catchphrase "nothing is true, everything is permitted" would goes along with this statement. We can't be sure of what was really true there, but we can just assume and every assumption is permitted
Correction, Ezio actually kept being a christian even after his knowledge of the Isu and the AoE. Not only he defends God when fighting Rodrigo Borgia during AC2 ending but the Brotherhood novel actually states he's a christian and anything in those novels that doesnt contradict the game is considered canon Edit: It's fun to see so many atheists angry cuz I'm desperate to prove my religion true while thy're here in the responses desperate to prove a ficitonal video game character from the 1500s is atheist 💀
I just played assassin's creed II and am playing ACB (I'm a noob so forgive me if I'm wrong) and he does not defend God, he just asks why he preaches religion if he knows(or more beleives it's false) I know little about the novels but considering they're icky on the canon it doesn't prove much. I think its well established so far that God(s) are not real in the AC universe but please correct me if I'm wrong on anything!
What does it actually say from the novels cuz I don't remember ever going to church in the 20 year storyline but I do remember robbing that one church Monterigioni
This guy made everyone an Atheist with no proof or backing... I'm dead lmao. The only one actually clearly Atheist was Arno. Most of the rest were either Muslim or Christian.
I mean considering most of them learn that humans are nothing but a slave race built by ancient beings who managed to survive the apocalypse and the gods they worship are based on objects from this ancient race I think it’s safe to say that would make you a bit sus about your god
@@jackj9816 fair but wouldn’t that mean they had to come from someone? Especially with all the super natural stuff going on you’d think most of them wouldn’t be atheist 💀
Basim is definitely a Muslim, there is dialogue during the main quest when Basim is discussing religion with a catholic priest he is asked why he does not drink and in his words he did not wish to "stain his immortal soul".
@@izzdanial4323 if basim was any religion, it’s Islam because of where he is from. Even if other o religions don’t drink, he definitely is from an Islamic family and upbringing, he said his father even built a mosque/masjid
@UCys07HQTykcWMeQdifK3l3A wdym? Bro.. Assassins word started from the land of Muslims (Arabia) it was hashashin at first. The Muslims were the first to give birth to the term Assasins and were the first assassins themselves. Look it up.
altaïr was a citizen of the nizari state of assassins. it was located in a small part of the region that was colloquially known as “syria”, but the syrian state was not established until the 20th century. ezio was florentine. italian unification did not happen until the mid 1800s. connor’s nationality is iroquois, not american. connor being indigenous meant he never would’ve been granted U.S. citizenship. adéwalé would’ve been considered spanish because trinidad was a colony of the spanish empire (although it’s more likely that, because he was black and a former slave, he would’ve had no nationality) shay was born in british new york and was an english citizen. his irish accent was due to his immigrant parentage and, as far as we know, he never visited ireland. although ancient greeks were united by their common language and beliefs, greece was not unified until it was conquered by philip II and ruled by alexander the great. therefore, kassandra’s nationality was spartan. basim lived in the abbasid caliphate. iraq didn’t become its own country until the 1900s.
Also when Connor was born America was colony wouldnt have been called United States at that point. And on a very pedantic note, If you are going to have Wales for Edward you should have the Frye twins As English, Wales was part of the UK when Edward was born.
@@robertjohnson592 technically the UK did not exist when edward was born, it was still called great britain -and the english never successfully conquered wales, tho they tried multiple times.- edit: british history is confusing, turns out they did annex wales so edward would be considered british
The idea of Ezio being Italien doesnt really make sense when you realise that the nation of Italy wasnt a thing until the 1800s. Ezio would certainly never refer to himself as an Italien but instead he would call himself “Tuscan” because he was born in Florence. Edit: I do realise that the idea of an Italian nationstate existed since ancient times. I was only making the point that Ezio was not an “Italian” as an Italian is a national of the nation of Italy.
@@guywhosnamestartswithz2520 So Im a nerd? Well, it a game about history (among other things) so to play it you almost have to have to know something about history and such.
same applies to a few of them, as the lands they were born in had different names and borders back then. Altaïr is from the Nizari state, Basim from the Abbasid Caliphate, Bayek and Aya from the Ptolemaic kingdom, Kassandra is from Sparta. But i guess the video goes by what those lands are known today. Which would make Avéline american as she was born in Louisiana which was then french but is now part of the US
@@qwertyno100 exactly. This video has so many faults, though i will say that Bayek and Aya being from Egypt is still accurate. Many if not most people would have called the land “Egypt” and not “the Ptolemaic Kingdom”.
3:14 the Frye twins are almost definitely Catholic because in their train hideout you can find a painting of what resembles the Virgin Mary inbetween two candles.
Aya is actually part Greek, since she is related to Kassandra, and she might believe to the Greek gods. When Phoxidas insults poseidon in a mission, she reacts negatively.
I don't see why anyone would instantly convert to atheist even after this knowledge. Isu's existence doesn't negate the existence of a God at all, it just means there was another species we weren't aware of, but they definetely were made by somebody else. The only contradiction is it was the Isu that created humanity, not God, but God created the Isu. Best way to see it from a christian perspective.
@@gab-bj9wf based is an internet term used when someone stays true to himself and expressing what he believes in regardless of how the general public sees it (like for example if you say prostitution is bad or for degenerates, not caring for other’s opinion on the subject) then you are based for saying what is true. You can understand it as the opposite of cringe or the same meaning as saying to someone that he’s a gigachad
Both Aveline and Shay would’ve been considered American by today’s standards, neither of them were born in France or Ireland. Aveline only has a French accent because Louisiana (where she was born) was part of the French Empire at the time, and Shay is from New York but has an Irish accent because his parents were immigrants.
@@DANtheMANofSIPA Yes, if the video was showing what these characters are based on the standards of their time period but it’s only going by modern standards, and by modern standards she’d be American.

Basim will be an interesting story on his religion. Because Basim is a sage that knows of his past life as Loki. So we may find out who the Isu worshipped. Eivor was a sage too but they didn't know about the Isu life until far later in the game
@@pussyslayer1237 In the human world yes. But at some point during the game Loki takes over his mind so will give us more view on the Norwegian division on the Isu and who they worshipped

Hello. To be more precise : Altair was a subject of the Abbasid Caliphate, capital city Bagdad in modern day Irak, in the XIIth century. Enzio was a citizen of the Granduchy of Toscany. Connor is born as British subject of New England colonies, he became US citizen only after the indépendance. Edward Kenway is born after the Act of Union, so he was British, not welsh. Adewale was living in the Spanish empire, Trinidad became British later in 1797 before the indépendance in 1962. Bayek was a subject of the Ptolemaic Egypt, so the flag is wrong Kassandra/Alexio was an Ancient Greek, the very concept of nationality was inexistant and the land politically divided into city-states, so Spartiate Ancient Greece. Norse pagan religion has a name : Asatrù ! And the kingdom of Norway had a different flag
@@nope1959 there is no english welsh or Scottish nationality the only two states on the british isles are UK and ireland both of them with their respective nationalities british and irish ya dingus
I'm not sure, but being religious isn't the same as having a religion by name. Some of the assassin might be atheist in practice, but not by association.
Problem is, by association as if you say formality (like for census) doesn't really exist back there, and people aren't concerning about it (aside from crusades, which none of them really did even tho Altair did intervene in the Third Crusades and Ezio with the papacy). So, it's up for the people whether to believe it or not, and I say none of these assassins even have citizenship, considering they're all consisted of killing machine (Altair), dethroned prince (Ezio), tribesmen whose tribe isn't even recognized (Connor), criminal (Edward, Evie, Jacob), slave (Adewale) and orphan (Arno), all of whom are deemed outcasts in addition to their affiliation with the assassins, which makes me doubt they were even given citizenship, if ever existed. Therefore, religious affiliation didn't really matter aside from what they believe in

Not my #1 favorite AC, but there's always a special place in my heart for Bayek. I'll bet his voice actor is partially responsible for that. I fangirled when I saw him as part of a YT gaming group. (I think it was Vampire: The Masquerade)
@@Teringluier4546 for a start, Jacob is an assassin. He knows that religion isn't real in the world of assassin's creed, especially because of the first civilization, of which Jacob talks about with his sister. In addition, Jacob supports Darwin and his theories which don't line up with religion. Jacob actually protects darwin from religious groups that slander his work. There's no way Jacob is Christian.
@@chrismoore5333 ok I don't think that Jacob is Christian anymore But you do know That darwinism is we'll pretty racist If Jacob supports that doesn't that also make him a racist
@@Teringluier4546 Darwin believed in evolution and that's what Jacob believes. OK? It isn't racist. You must be American. Your reaching now. Like, how is evolution racist? Bet you just decided it was. Also Jacob is close friends with a man from India, and Jacob fights for India against the British during the last maharaja dlc. So Jacob clearly isn't what you claim.
Interesting video but I noticed that the Protagonists from the Assassin's Creed Chronicles game were missing. I mean that games protagonists are Shao Jun (Nationality: China), Arbaaz Mir (Nationality: India) and Nikolai Orelov (Nationality: Russia).
Biak might not actually be the most religious. At the beginning hell ya, the dude was prity much a wondering warrior monk as a job. But as later events in his life shows he could instantly pick up on things being real or not and didn’t actually have that much faith in the gods if anything more then an opreciation of the faith/practices. I think Biak might actually be Unitarian. He’s a believer but lacks actual faith in the religion as he chooses what he believes in. Thus he’s still part of the faith just on the outside looking towards the horizon
In the final dlc, he goes about calling Akhenaten the heretical Pharaoh and still seems to believe in his gods, but sort of sees them as possible alien-like figures.
Bayek literally goes on a jihad against the heretics of Aten's religion and even _follows them into afterlife_ in Curse of the Pharaohs... I don't think he can deny Field of Reeds and The Duat existing because HE WAS THERE. Literally. Denied a guy afterlife by destroying his heart and all. Egyptian religion is real in Origins. Bayek is devout and it's ridiculous claiming he somehow doubts the snake, which skeleton he's climbed, didn't exist. It was vague with shaman before but not in the end. Game went full mythology acceptance and gods are as real in AC as they are in Marvel.
I'm really glad that people in the comments saved the day from the sheer ignorance of the OP. None of the assassins stated their religious beliefs. And most of them didn't even talk about it, but you kept assuming that they're atheists just because you thought it'd sound better. Btw, the real life assassins upon which the franchise was based were all Muslims.
@@glandmajor5430 At no point was there any Western propaganda, and I'd actually say this franchise works better as propaganda for you to use against us because the sworn enemy of the Assassins are a Catholic based institution.
@@RoachChaddjr more like elitists disguised as Catholics. The franchise never looked down upon Christianity as a religion. Wasn't Maria Thorpe the wife of the protagonist "Altair" in the first installment of the franchise a Christian!??

What does Maria have to do with this?
Both eivor and basim at the end of the game would not have to believe in gods, they are the "gods" even if they are not real gods, if not isu, the other humans consider them gods.

@@malheia yea, I am pretty sure where Islam and Christianity begin to separate is in the telling of the the story of Abraham, where Muslims believe that Ishmael, his first son, albeit not with his wife, is the rightful line through which the chosen people came, while Christians believe it was Isaac, his second son who was had with his wife. Something along those lines.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the characters compared visually since I am not familiar with all of the games and almost laughed at it turning into Skyrim at the end there
@@shepard4245 well I have no idea what Egyptian women are supposed to look like lol but in the game she says herself she’s "from the Greek world" or something like that and her cousin is Greek so… she may be part Greek part Egyptian tho 🤔 but her grand grand mother is Kassandra from Odyssey
@@shepard4245 Aya was the descendant of Kassandra (AC Odyssey's canon protagonist), so i'm guessing somewhere along the line, one or few of Kassandra's descendant relocates to Egypt and had childrens with the local, which is probably why Aya looks like a full blooded Egyptian (i mean, there's 400 years gap between AC Odyssey and Origin, i'm actually surprised Aya still considered herself as a Greek tbh)
Hope Ubisoft makes a game based on Meso America, we can be Maya or Mexica as my professor explained and we fight the Spanish from destroying the culture. I can totally see a game based on the culture for the future.
@Ash. Bl. orrrr we play as one of the tribes who fought against aztecs then the spaniards. Would not want to play as a european in a meso american game.
The creed isn’t actually restrictive about those topics, the ideology itself dictates that one should follow their own path and make their own conclusions, having faith in a certain religion is permitted as long as the person follows the creed, Altaïr himself defended Islam and Christianity.
The concept on "nationality" is pretty new. To say that Ezio was italian because he was born in Italy is wrong: he did not recognise himself as such and his culture was not "italian". He was Florentine, from the Serenissima Repubblica di Firenze, that's it. Nationality is a concept born more or less around the second half of the 17th century and fully developed around the first half of the 19th century.
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Not historically correct. Even though Machiavelli considered the idea of a united Italy, it was mostly a thought Machiavelli himself never explored in its entirety. The nationalist movements in the 19th were something different, something in which even the masses were involved. A nobleman in 1500 talking abstractly about unification cannot bring to the conclusion that nationalism was a thing even before the 19th century. There was no concept of nation, at least not as we intend it today. A greek from Sparta might have considered himself as part of the greek heritage, but he had no loyalty towards "Greece": there was no Greece at the time. He lived in Sparta and was a spartan, therefore his loyalty was towards Sparta alone. There were times where Greek cities fought together against common enemies (like Persia), but it was no nationalism that pushed the soldiers foward, It was mostly necessity and a sentiment of "brotherhood" between greek cities.
@@simpleconcept3698 there was literally a Greek/Hellenic identity and they had special rights different from non-Greeks all over ancient Greece and out of it. If you were a Greek in Libya, Cyrene, you would be allowed into a gymnasium... if you were Egyptian or Persian, you would not. Some cavalry units were Persian culturally, and you had to identify as a Persian to serve there. They had concept of nationality all right, it wasn't tied to STATE though. And later, in Italy, come on, they are speaking Italian language, of course they had a concept of Italy being a thing, even if it was multiple states smh. By your logic Czech nation wouldn't be a thing until 1991 and Syrians won't exist despite, you know, being one of most ancient people still around. Nations did not always equal countries.
Kassandra, was religious person, until she met her real father and later incidents. Since she is the longest lived person, due to that she knew the reality and lot (since isu to 21st century). In another way she is like super-library of assassin's creed world.
She could've been an agnostic, since she refuses to favor anything (which is agnostic way, of neither believing nor disbelieving over something). She may start an on-and-off in believing over one absolute power, until eventually deciding to say "I don't know" upon her beliefs, and died being herself only (no religious affiliation whatsoever). Therefore, agnostic fits the best for her belief (which can reason why the game decided it's up to the player for her faith)
@@nomad1789I played as Alexios and I think that to. I notice when he goes to places he sounds like he believes in the gods, but he also thinks people are foolish when they thank the gods for everything saying that it’s people who make there own fate
I think canonically Kassandra never really believed in gods, remember she witnessed her brother tossed into a cliff because an oracle (prophet of the gods) told Nikolaos to do so... even in-game Kassandra only "acted" to be a religious person to get on a certain people's good side rather than genuinly believing in those gods herself
It could be that this is because he is Muslim. Because apparantly in one conversation he says to a Christian priest that he doesn't drink alcohol as to not "stain his immortal soul". But I don't know. After what Basim has experienced it would surprise me if he was still a Muslim. But as for herecy, anything that wasn't Catholic Christian at the time was considered herecy
Descendents of african slaves used to keep practicing their ancient religion under the disguise of catholicism, probably Aveline and Ade were one of em. Ade's name is a yoruba name btw, and yorubas had their own religion that it's practiced today in caribbean countries, even if sometimes disguised as catholicism, like they did with "santeria". So in paper she would be very well "catholic"
Did I miss a huge part of the game...? ^^' I mean it probably depends on how u define the word "god", but as I recall it, the Isu were the ones who literally created humanity. beside their other abilities, a lot of them were actually seen as gods by humans (like those from Greek/Norse/etc. mythology). that probably due to the fact that humanity was just not fully able to comprehend the entire nature of the Isu and the extent of their powers. but to me it's hairsplitting, whether u call Isu "gods" or just an "advanced species" - their powers exceed human's understanding and own abilities and can therefore be seen as at least godlike.
They were the first civilisation the ones taken as ‘gods’ I believe are the surviving ines and I believe like the ‘gods’ Odin and Zeus are the same Isi just different interpretation from the different humans and as a Muslim (Nkt being biased) by I think there is a god since assassin’s creed or based on the hashasgins who are muskim and there’s different things in why I believe Allah/God exists in assassins creed and why Nkt all characters are atheist
I don’t think an Assassin being religious makes much sense. Even without the whole Isu thing pretty much proving that all gods are.. let’s say “overrated”, the Creed specifically encourages its followers to constantly put their worldview and their belief system into question. To always be as open minded as possible, to never assume that the truth is a given absolute. This doesn’t mix very well with the kind of devotion required by religion. The Creed’s essential meaning is literally “Beware everyone who asks you to believe without question, and remember you’ll always be responsible for what you choose to do.”
@@dragonhale2026 Ubisoft butchered the translation of the creed the actual translation is Nothing is an absolute reality, everything is possible in arabic it has a deeper meaning and many interpretation none of them means nothing is true all is permitted the correct translation makes more sense
Isn't it the other way around? How can you be open-minded about things if you're an atheist who explicitly denies anything supernatural existing in the first place? For example, atheists believe pagan gods like Juno or Jupiter didn't exist... WE TALK TO THEM IN GAMES. We also visit Duat and Field of Reeds, Egyptian afterlife. There's so much supernatual stuff happening that I don't understand how writers can justify characters being atheists at any point.
I am actually so proud altair is syrian because i am too, and i already know what im going to name my 2 children, its going to be altair and ezio, and I am going to teach them brotherhood
Fun fact: Aveline is a French descendent but her nationality is American.Her father was a French settler in New Orleans and her mother was a african slave having a French name. And,Altair was born to a muslim father(who was also an assassin) and a Christian mother ,so he know about both.
That would mean that Ezio, Connor, Edward etc were Muslims because they were assassins. The templars and assassin's ingame have been secularized and don't share the religious nature of their real world counterparts.
Actually Layla Hassan is American. But she is from an Egyptian-American family having roots in Egypt but currently living in the United States. So I would not say that her nationality is Egyptian, because she was in fact born and raised in the United States.
And even then, calling her an Egyptian-American would be more accurate if she was first born and raised in Egypt and then moved to the US. She's just overall an American with Egyptian heritage.
The Great Assassins are Iranian and their commander's name was Hasan Saqa. They were born in Iran and died in Iran in the war with the Mongols. Their castle in Iran is in the city of Qazvin, and their original name is Hashashion has been
you did miss naoe and a few other extra assassin's but l dont blame you as if this realised before ac shadows was a thing [no offense] but just a thought thanks for including the newest one :)
I wouldn't go so far as to say Ezio stopped being a Christian. There wasn't much really confirming that he didn't believe in God, and there are certain moments that would imply he still believes in God. His issues have more to do with the Church as an earthly institution, which is very fair for the 15th and 16th centuries. If anything, he's probably lapsed Catholic. I mean, it's pretty difficult to avoid excommunication after his tustle with Pope Alexander VI. As for the Frye twins, they never tackle religion in that game, so they would be pure speculation. My guess is that Jacob was probably Agnostic or more like Edward, while Evie strikes me as a Protestant of some kind.
Hashashin were an Iranian nationalist and liberating group that fought for the freedom of Iran against the occupying Turks and Arabs. Long live to HOLY IRAN💚🤍❤️
@Sherry haytham Nah, I follows ISlam, whomever message thats compatible with ISlam, then hes my brother.. You might been following Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker and Marvin Gorman too.. All popular Christy teleevangelist caught with prxstitutes.. haha
Basim is muslim in mirage. But after he merged with Loki,which is norse pagan, I thinks it is complicated to say what is his current belief today in modern world. Is he became atheist for real?
From Assasin Creed, we learn history, geography, civilization and beautiful culture in past. The founder Assasin Creed, group of organization and bloodline. Experience past time as player in video game storyline is worth. Thank you this Ubisoft and this channel.
I believe that all Assassin's Creed Templars were Catholic Christians, since what would be the logic of calling themselves "The Order of Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" being that they are all atheists
No. They were deists and some of them were even atheist. But the Templar Order used their influence within the Catholic church to control the population through religion. During the Middle Ages they posed themselves as a Christian order, and probably used religions to get new recruits. But the leaders of the organization weren't christian themselves. They were deistic and later atheistic. Worshipping some kind of entity called The Father of Understanding. Ezio even criticised Rodrigo Borgia for using his position as Pope, the leader of all Catholics, to have power, while not actually believing in Christianity. Because Rodrigo said that all the stories about "a man on a cloud with cherubs and angels" weren't true. So Ezio called out Rodrigo's and the Templars' hypocrisy for using religion to control people, but not actually believing.
@@silvanvanderhorst7366 A question: after all, what is Deism? would you be a person who believes in god but not in miracles? I mean in Assassin's Creed lore the Templars were lying about they were fighting for Jesus Christ just to gain popularity and recruits, and the crusades this whole time were done to fulfill goals that the Templars really aimed at which would be to seek temples of those who came before and for the Apple of Eden? I thought when I played Assassin's Creed Rogue Shay was killing his own brothers for the cause of Christ 🙁
@@GabrielOliveira-zp3ni Deism is THE believe that there is a higher power, but that higher power isn’t like any god we know in our religions. Deists basically believe that this power cannot not be known and might not actually even have a conscience or a personality. It could be a god, but it could also just be a spark that is responsible for all creation. They basically say “there probably is a god or some kind of higher power that is responsible for creating the universe, but it is not like we can know him. So all religions that claim to know god and the nature of the universe are wrong.” Deists also believe that “the Divine” created the universe according to a set of very strict laws of physics. So miracles that we see in most religions can’t be true since they all break the laws of physics that the Divine (or god) created. Deism really came up during the age of Reason when scientific discoveries showed the world worked according to laws of physics instead of divine magic, and when discoveries in history and literacy showed that there were many historical inaccuracies in the Bible and that the Bible contained many different translations and was changed multiple times. Because of this many people stopped believing in the Christian religion. But many didn’t have any alternative so instead they thought that there must still be a god, who is based in science and in reason, but isn’t the god as described in the Bible and other world religions. It was basically the first step towards atheism and the first big step towards a more secular worldview. Many of the US Founding Fathers considered themselves Deists. After Darwin discovered evolution and when the Big Bang was discovered that’s when atheism really kicked off. Because people now finally had a viable alternative to a divine creation of the universe
@@silvanvanderhorst7366 Let me get this straight, so Deism in Assassin's Creed would be believing in the Isu. I am Catholic Christian, But I understand that the aim of Assassin's Creed is not to propagate Atheism or Deism, but to invent a story behind religions, I know that the Isu existed in 75,000 BC and they were much more powerful than us humans, and they created us to use us as labor and we humans worshiped them as gods, and then some gods fell in love with humans, And then hybrid humans were born, which would be normal humans with Isu characteristics, such as Eagle Vision, and then the Isu were extinct from Earth, and traces of their constructions remained, Humans making religions based on the Isu, for example Norse mythology that worshiped the Isu of Asgard. But despite the knowledge of the first civilization, some protagonists of Assassin's Creed continued following Christianity like Adéwalé and Shay, implying that Assassins and Templars do have religious people among them
i dont think ac protagonists followed any religions as the organization is atheist however reading the comments makes me believe tat everyone in the organization follows own religions and beliefs and the organization is secular
Like Eivor/Eivør, I am also a Norse Pagan. Most Norwegians are christians. I was raised to be a Norse Pagan but with a more modern and civil point of view for sure. We have rules and words of wisdom like christianity but very different. I go to parties, ceremonies and Hof (let’s call that church). I got many christian friends. Also muslims. I will treat common folk with respect as long as they do the same to me. Our version of Norwegian is ancient and super hard for other Norwegians to understand. You need to be from this area to fully understand us. So we change dialect when we talk with people from other places in Norway.
There already is, assassins creed chronicles : india based on the graphic novel assassins creed 'brahmaan'. Set in india during the britishers and a maharajas empire of that time showcasing indian assassin 'arbaaz mir ' . The story revolves a piece of eden in india and the koh i nur diamond.
Technically Eivor at the end knows that the god in their head is not real but still in fact believes the gods are real. Again depending on how you play.
Arno (i still strugglle to write it we are used to write it Arnaud) is a French noble and in the files of Abstergo it is said that he used to be religious so he was a christian catholic at least at the start of the game.

@@Velnar. excellent point!!! 😁😁 I find it so interesting and ironic that we human beings can at times lay aside our differences in times of "war," but seem to unable to do so in times of "peace." The irony part is that war is when differences become so great that the only solution our "highly evolved" minds can come up is to kill eachother and yet it is in times of war that many if not all of other, perhaps lesser, differences are put aside, only to be taken up again when the war/crisis ends. It seems to me that our human minds still have some evolving to do 🤣🤣
Being atheist in those was completely unheard of it was like religion was law, but I don't think assassin's need to abandon religion just because the way humanity started wasn't true it doesn't really have relevance to core religious values.
They never stated anything as such. The original creators only stated he was spiritual and neither Muslim like his father or Christian like his mother.
I just assume that almost all AC protagonists are atheists / agnostics because those beliefs are technically the core of their brotherhood. remember that the assassin's brotherhood in this game is different that the irl one. the game one's purely philosophical instead of religious. however, Bayek is shown to be really devoted to the ancient Egyptian religion practices (remember when he was mad at the guy who poisoned a sacred animal?) Kassandra prayed during Phoebe's death and also during her dying breath. she also seems to believe in the existence of afterlife. I assume that she's spiritual but irreligious.
I know some child is going to get mad and say "No AvElInE iS aMeRiCaN!!!" because she's in Louisiana, but you've to realise that Louisiana was French territory until the Louisiana purchase under Jefferson.
I reckon having an Assassin creed based in Asia in countries like India or later Bangladesh would be a great story. They can make story where the British came and colonised India. Oh what a game that would be.
A fully developed and open-world AC set in India would be a dream come true for me. But I feel like the British Raj period is a little overused in both films and literature. I'd rather like a story set between the 17th and 18th century, during the Mughal-Maratha wars. It would be cool to see the Templars operating in secret as members of both empires, or even Rajputs and other Indian kingdoms, while the Assassins travel the whole subcontinent to stop their plans. Also, the truth of Hindu gods being ISU and playing a role in the story could be even more fascinating. The British could still play a role, as they began settling in Eastern India during that time, but not a predominant one.

If I remember correctly, according to one of the Codex pages, Altair became agnostic not atheist. And Ezio never became atheist.
Maybe, but when he defeated Robert of Sable, he said "this has nothing to do with him, I'm just the better fighter" to King Richard, who replied "you may not believe in him, but he believed in you" to no objection, which indicates he is an atheist. Again, this is just assumption, he could be an agnostic, but more likely to be atheist
@@nomad1789 This doesn‘t mean exactly Altair was Atheist as none of both citations are proves. What King Richard would have meant was that Christ believed in Altair, yet muslims don‘t believe in Jesus being god
@@TovarischMakarov nah, God is one. And they don't say Jesus or Yahweh or Allah or whatever name of God they would, so God is the same. Moreover, his only explanation is "I'm just the better fighter", not "it's my God, not yours", prove that he's believing only himself. Beside, Altair burning Al Mualim's corpse shows how he doesn't believe in Islam whatsoever (even tho he really means to prevent Al Mualim's return). If any, that shall be either atheist or agnostic (more likely the former)
@@nomad1789 Altair not believing it was God's work but a matter of skill doesn't mean anything besides that. You remember Pulp Fiction? Jules was declaring that it was a miracle, Vega was skeptical about that one event... it doesn't mean he's an atheist or agnostic. Just that he doesn't believe in specific case of divine intervention... However, Altair, most likely IS atheistic in the end, as during Assassin's Creed 2 you collect codex pages and you see him being dismissive of all religions and being really scared of death, after which he doesn't believe in any continuation. He is also not shown being religious at any point, ESPECIALLY compared to very Catholic Ezio, delivering a requiem in Latin for his victims.
I can also point that for all his desire for knowledge, Altair didn't get it all until he died. Only Ezio gets that there's something more beyond what we see in Revelations, as he recognizes the player existing, and accepts our inability to know things beyond our understanding. It was very creepy and I loved it. I need to finish relaying AC2 and read the entirety of Altair's breakdown. Needs all codex pages but I stopped playing a year ago, coulnd't stand Venice fireworks counting last hours until 4:45, and hearing real explosions outside my window.
Anyway, remember the first game was released during Iraq war so a practicing Muslim would be risky for a playable character, I don't believe outside of France they would even dare to make a setting with Saracens as the good guys, though Crusaders are shown respectfully too, in Richard's case. They kept Altair's religion vague () to avoid any possible backlash from either side. AC2 onwards are braver games, as in, they're more open about characters convictions. I think Altair goes from Muslim (how he was brought up) to agnostic (events of AC1) to atheist (his later years by codex).
Now Bayek is another thing entirely, deeply religious pagan-polytheist, to the point he justifies hate crimes against Atenian heretics that didn't worship multiple gods.
@@KasumiRINA I guess, can't really shows considering this game's catchphrase "nothing is true, everything is permitted" would goes along with this statement. We can't be sure of what was really true there, but we can just assume and every assumption is permitted
Correction, Ezio actually kept being a christian even after his knowledge of the Isu and the AoE. Not only he defends God when fighting Rodrigo Borgia during AC2 ending but the Brotherhood novel actually states he's a christian and anything in those novels that doesnt contradict the game is considered canon
Edit: It's fun to see so many atheists angry cuz I'm desperate to prove my religion true while thy're here in the responses desperate to prove a ficitonal video game character from the 1500s is atheist 💀
I just played assassin's creed II and am playing ACB (I'm a noob so forgive me if I'm wrong) and he does not defend God, he just asks why he preaches religion if he knows(or more beleives it's false) I know little about the novels but considering they're icky on the canon it doesn't prove much. I think its well established so far that God(s) are not real in the AC universe but please correct me if I'm wrong on anything!

ezio was florentine. italian unification did not happen until the mid 1800s.
connor’s nationality is iroquois, not american. connor being indigenous meant he never would’ve been granted U.S. citizenship.
adéwalé would’ve been considered spanish because trinidad was a colony of the spanish empire (although it’s more likely that, because he was black and a former slave, he would’ve had no nationality)
shay was born in british new york and was an english citizen. his irish accent was due to his immigrant parentage and, as far as we know, he never visited ireland.
although ancient greeks were united by their common language and beliefs, greece was not unified until it was conquered by philip II and ruled by alexander the great. therefore, kassandra’s nationality was spartan.

The idea of Ezio being Italien doesnt really make sense when you realise that the nation of Italy wasnt a thing until the 1800s.
Ezio would certainly never refer to himself as an Italien but instead he would call himself “Tuscan” because he was born in Florence.
Edit: I do realise that the idea of an Italian nationstate existed since ancient times. I was only making the point that Ezio was not an “Italian” as an Italian is a national of the nation of Italy.

Genuine question man, what does “based” mean? 😭 I still don’t get It
I don't see why anyone would instantly convert to atheist even after this knowledge.
Isu's existence doesn't negate the existence of a God at all, it just means there was another species we weren't aware of, but they definetely were made by somebody else.
The only contradiction is it was the Isu that created humanity, not God, but God created the Isu.
Best way to see it from a christian perspective.
@@gab-bj9wf based is an internet term used when someone stays true to himself and expressing what he believes in regardless of how the general public sees it (like for example if you say prostitution is bad or for degenerates, not caring for other’s opinion on the subject) then you are based for saying what is true.

Both Aveline and Shay would’ve been considered American by today’s standards, neither of them were born in France or Ireland.

Hello.
To be more precise :
Altair was a subject of the Abbasid Caliphate, capital city Bagdad in modern day Irak, in the XIIth century.
Enzio was a citizen of the Granduchy of Toscany.
Connor is born as British subject of New England colonies, he became US citizen only after the indépendance.
Edward Kenway is born after the Act of Union, so he was British, not welsh.
Adewale was living in the Spanish empire, Trinidad became British later in 1797 before the indépendance in 1962.
Bayek was a subject of the Ptolemaic Egypt, so the flag is wrong
Kassandra/Alexio was an Ancient Greek, the very concept of nationality was inexistant and the land politically divided into city-states, so Spartiate
Ancient Greece.
Norse pagan religion has a name : Asatrù ! And the kingdom of Norway had a different flag
You are absolutely correct, but I think the video was intending on modern day borders. But never less you are right about the nationalities
"British" is not a nationality. It's English, Welsh, or scottish. Living on an island is not a nationality.
Connor was actually born outside the colonies in a Mohawk village of the Haudsaunee confederacy.
altair was born in Masyaf Syria and died there to
@@nope1959 there is no english welsh or Scottish nationality the only two states on the british isles are UK and ireland both of them with their respective nationalities british and irish ya dingus
I'm not sure, but being religious isn't the same as having a religion by name. Some of the assassin might be atheist in practice, but not by association.
Problem is, by association as if you say formality (like for census) doesn't really exist back there, and people aren't concerning about it (aside from crusades, which none of them really did even tho Altair did intervene in the Third Crusades and Ezio with the papacy). So, it's up for the people whether to believe it or not, and I say none of these assassins even have citizenship, considering they're all consisted of killing machine (Altair), dethroned prince (Ezio), tribesmen whose tribe isn't even recognized (Connor), criminal (Edward, Evie, Jacob), slave (Adewale) and orphan (Arno), all of whom are deemed outcasts in addition to their affiliation with the assassins, which makes me doubt they were even given citizenship, if ever existed. Therefore, religious affiliation didn't really matter aside from what they believe in

Biak might not actually be the most religious. At the beginning hell ya, the dude was prity much a wondering warrior monk as a job. But as later events in his life shows he could instantly pick up on things being real or not and didn’t actually have that much faith in the gods if anything more then an opreciation of the faith/practices.
I think Biak might actually be Unitarian. He’s a believer but lacks actual faith in the religion as he chooses what he believes in. Thus he’s still part of the faith just on the outside looking towards the horizon
In the final dlc, he goes about calling Akhenaten the heretical Pharaoh and still seems to believe in his gods, but sort of sees them as possible alien-like figures.
Also he robs Tombs knowing that he will go to hell for it so that says something lol
Bayek literally goes on a jihad against the heretics of Aten's religion and even _follows them into afterlife_ in Curse of the Pharaohs... I don't think he can deny Field of Reeds and The Duat existing because HE WAS THERE. Literally. Denied a guy afterlife by destroying his heart and all. Egyptian religion is real in Origins. Bayek is devout and it's ridiculous claiming he somehow doubts the snake, which skeleton he's climbed, didn't exist. It was vague with shaman before but not in the end.

It was also interesting to see the de facto nationalities without anachronism, there are countries that no longer exist.

@@shepard4245 Aya was the descendant of Kassandra (AC Odyssey's canon protagonist), so i'm guessing somewhere along the line, one or few of Kassandra's descendant relocates to Egypt and had childrens with the local, which is probably why Aya looks like a full blooded Egyptian (i mean, there's 400 years gap between AC Odyssey and Origin, i'm actually surprised Aya still considered herself as a Greek tbh)

Hope Ubisoft makes a game based on Meso America, we can be Maya or Mexica as my professor explained and we fight the Spanish from destroying the culture. I can totally see a game based on the culture for the future.
I hope we can get an Aztec/maya game where an assassination involves a priest during the mass sacrifices on the pyramid
@Ash. Bl. nothing like stoping some human sacrifice
Or we can fight Wakandans
That would be extremely based
@Ash. Bl. orrrr we play as one of the tribes who fought against aztecs then the spaniards. Would not want to play as a european in a meso american game.

You should know how to use weapons
@@anticarnistslayer I think either one works. the creed is more of a libertarianish ideology fighting authoritarians.
The creed isn’t actually restrictive about those topics, the ideology itself dictates that one should follow their own path and make their own conclusions, having faith in a certain religion is permitted as long as the person follows the creed, Altaïr himself defended Islam and Christianity.
Real assasins were muslim shias
The concept on "nationality" is pretty new. To say that Ezio was italian because he was born in Italy is wrong: he did not recognise himself as such and his culture was not "italian". He was Florentine, from the Serenissima Repubblica di Firenze, that's it.
Nationality is a concept born more or less around the second half of the 17th century and fully developed around the first half of the 19th century.
Italia was a concept, and there was a word for people from the Italian Penisula.
@@badconnection4383 Yes but there was no concept of Italy as a Nation.
@@simpleconcept3698 wrong. I read machiavelli. And the man can't shut up about how Italy needs to united
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Not historically correct. Even though Machiavelli considered the idea of a united Italy, it was mostly a thought Machiavelli himself never explored in its entirety. The nationalist movements in the 19th were something different, something in which even the masses were involved. A nobleman in 1500 talking abstractly about unification cannot bring to the conclusion that nationalism was a thing even before the 19th century. There was no concept of nation, at least not as we intend it today. A greek from Sparta might have considered himself as part of the greek heritage, but he had no loyalty towards "Greece": there was no Greece at the time. He lived in Sparta and was a spartan, therefore his loyalty was towards Sparta alone. There were times where Greek cities fought together against common enemies (like Persia), but it was no nationalism that pushed the soldiers foward, It was mostly necessity and a sentiment of "brotherhood" between greek cities.
@@simpleconcept3698 there was literally a Greek/Hellenic identity and they had special rights different from non-Greeks all over ancient Greece and out of it. If you were a Greek in Libya, Cyrene, you would be allowed into a gymnasium... if you were Egyptian or Persian, you would not. Some cavalry units were Persian culturally, and you had to identify as a Persian to serve there. They had concept of nationality all right, it wasn't tied to STATE though. And later, in Italy, come on, they are speaking Italian language, of course they had a concept of Italy being a thing, even if it was multiple states smh. By your logic Czech nation wouldn't be a thing until 1991 and Syrians won't exist despite, you know, being one of most ancient people still around. Nations did not always equal countries.
I’d assume Arno was Catholic till he became atheist. France was a strong catholic country till the late 1800s
Thank for those information
Kassandra had all the time to become an atheist.
She's the only one who actually has any of her religious beliefs affirmed because the ISU are basically just the Greek gods.
Kassandra, was religious person, until she met her real father and later incidents. Since she is the longest lived person, due to that she knew the reality and lot (since isu to 21st century). In another way she is like super-library of assassin's creed world.
She could've been an agnostic, since she refuses to favor anything (which is agnostic way, of neither believing nor disbelieving over something). She may start an on-and-off in believing over one absolute power, until eventually deciding to say "I don't know" upon her beliefs, and died being herself only (no religious affiliation whatsoever). Therefore, agnostic fits the best for her belief (which can reason why the game decided it's up to the player for her faith)
@@nomad1789I played as Alexios and I think that to. I notice when he goes to places he sounds like he believes in the gods, but he also thinks people are foolish when they thank the gods for everything saying that it’s people who make there own fate
I think canonically Kassandra never really believed in gods, remember she witnessed her brother tossed into a cliff because an oracle (prophet of the gods) told Nikolaos to do so... even in-game Kassandra only "acted" to be a religious person to get on a certain people's good side rather than genuinly believing in those gods herself
I am playing Valhalla right now and i can confirm Basim is actually atheist calling himself a heretic.
It could be that this is because he is Muslim. Because apparantly in one conversation he says to a Christian priest that he doesn't drink alcohol as to not "stain his immortal soul". But I don't know. After what Basim has experienced it would surprise me if he was still a Muslim. But as for herecy, anything that wasn't Catholic Christian at the time was considered herecy

Didnt Aveline believe in voodoo? She also said "venerated one" to the voodoo witch doctor making me think she followed his teachings
Descendents of african slaves used to keep practicing their ancient religion under the disguise of catholicism, probably Aveline and Ade were one of em. Ade's name is a yoruba name btw, and yorubas had their own religion that it's practiced today in caribbean countries, even if sometimes disguised as catholicism, like they did with "santeria".

Did I miss a huge part of the game...? ^^' I mean it probably depends on how u define the word "god", but as I recall it, the Isu were the ones who literally created humanity. beside their other abilities, a lot of them were actually seen as gods by humans (like those from Greek/Norse/etc. mythology). that probably due to the fact that humanity was just not fully able to comprehend the entire nature of the Isu and the extent of their powers. but to me it's hairsplitting, whether u call Isu "gods" or just an "advanced species" - their powers exceed human's understanding and own abilities and can therefore be seen as at least godlike.
They were the first civilisation the ones taken as ‘gods’ I believe are the surviving ines and I believe like the ‘gods’ Odin and Zeus are the same Isi just different interpretation from the different humans and as a Muslim (Nkt being biased) by I think there is a god since assassin’s creed or based on the hashasgins who are muskim and there’s different things in why I believe Allah/God exists in assassins creed and why Nkt all characters are atheist
I don’t think an Assassin being religious makes much sense. Even without the whole Isu thing pretty much proving that all gods are.. let’s say “overrated”, the Creed specifically encourages its followers to constantly put their worldview and their belief system into question. To always be as open minded as possible, to never assume that the truth is a given absolute. This doesn’t mix very well with the kind of devotion required by religion. The Creed’s essential meaning is literally “Beware everyone who asks you to believe without question, and remember you’ll always be responsible for what you choose to do.”
@@dragonhale2026 Ubisoft butchered the translation of the creed the actual translation is Nothing is an absolute reality, everything is possible in arabic it has a deeper meaning and many interpretation none of them means nothing is true all is permitted the correct translation makes more sense
Isn't it the other way around? How can you be open-minded about things if you're an atheist who explicitly denies anything supernatural existing in the first place? For example, atheists believe pagan gods like Juno or Jupiter didn't exist... WE TALK TO THEM IN GAMES. We also visit Duat and Field of Reeds, Egyptian afterlife. There's so much supernatual stuff happening that I don't understand how writers can justify characters being atheists at any point.
Then that would make all assassins skeptics and not atheists/agnostics
I love how bayek is the most religious but is one of the most brutal ones

Fun fact: Aveline is a French descendent but her nationality is American.Her father was a French settler in New Orleans and her mother was a african slave having a French name.

In fact, the Assassins were in Iran during the Samanid period, and we don't even have an Iranian Assassin. And their real name is Hashashin.
Actually Layla Hassan is American. But she is from an Egyptian-American family having roots in Egypt but currently living in the United States. So I would not say that her nationality is Egyptian, because she was in fact born and raised in the United States.
Yes. Her bio says she was born in America.
Agree
And even then, calling her an Egyptian-American would be more accurate if she was first born and raised in Egypt and then moved to the US. She's just overall an American with Egyptian heritage.
The Great Assassins are Iranian and their commander's name was Hasan Saqa. They were born in Iran and died in Iran in the war with the Mongols. Their castle in Iran is in the city of Qazvin, and their original name is Hashashion has been

Bagdhad very beatful❤
I wouldn't go so far as to say Ezio stopped being a Christian. There wasn't much really confirming that he didn't believe in God, and there are certain moments that would imply he still believes in God. His issues have more to do with the Church as an earthly institution, which is very fair for the 15th and 16th centuries.
If anything, he's probably lapsed Catholic. I mean, it's pretty difficult to avoid excommunication after his tustle with Pope Alexander VI.
As for the Frye twins, they never tackle religion in that game, so they would be pure speculation. My guess is that Jacob was probably Agnostic or more like Edward, while Evie strikes me as a Protestant of some kind.
must be the rat type of protestant
hey thats... both words mean the same LOL
you made a huge mistake! how can forget about Haytham Kenway a devout Christian. Templar.

From Assasin Creed, we learn history, geography, civilization and beautiful culture in past. The founder Assasin Creed, group of organization and bloodline. Experience past time as player in video game storyline is worth. Thank you this Ubisoft and this channel.

We don't learn history 😂. I mean yeah to an extent.
I believe that all Assassin's Creed Templars were Catholic Christians, since what would be the logic of calling themselves "The Order of Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" being that they are all atheists
No. They were deists and some of them were even atheist. But the Templar Order used their influence within the Catholic church to control the population through religion. During the Middle Ages they posed themselves as a Christian order, and probably used religions to get new recruits. But the leaders of the organization weren't christian themselves. They were deistic and later atheistic. Worshipping some kind of entity called The Father of Understanding.
Ezio even criticised Rodrigo Borgia for using his position as Pope, the leader of all Catholics, to have power, while not actually believing in Christianity. Because Rodrigo said that all the stories about "a man on a cloud with cherubs and angels" weren't true. So Ezio called out Rodrigo's and the Templars' hypocrisy for using religion to control people, but not actually believing.
@@silvanvanderhorst7366 A question: after all, what is Deism? would you be a person who believes in god but not in miracles?
I mean in Assassin's Creed lore the Templars were lying about they were fighting for Jesus Christ just to gain popularity and recruits, and the crusades this whole time were done to fulfill goals that the Templars really aimed at which would be to seek temples of those who came before and for the Apple of Eden?
I thought when I played Assassin's Creed Rogue Shay was killing his own brothers for the cause of Christ 🙁
@@GabrielOliveira-zp3ni Deism is THE believe that there is a higher power, but that higher power isn’t like any god we know in our religions. Deists basically believe that this power cannot not be known and might not actually even have a conscience or a personality. It could be a god, but it could also just be a spark that is responsible for all creation. They basically say “there probably is a god or some kind of higher power that is responsible for creating the universe, but it is not like we can know him. So all religions that claim to know god and the nature of the universe are wrong.” Deists also believe that “the Divine” created the universe according to a set of very strict laws of physics. So miracles that we see in most religions can’t be true since they all break the laws of physics that the Divine (or god) created. Deism really came up during the age of Reason when scientific discoveries showed the world worked according to laws of physics instead of divine magic, and when discoveries in history and literacy showed that there were many historical inaccuracies in the Bible and that the Bible contained many different translations and was changed multiple times. Because of this many people stopped believing in the Christian religion. But many didn’t have any alternative so instead they thought that there must still be a god, who is based in science and in reason, but isn’t the god as described in the Bible and other world religions. It was basically the first step towards atheism and the first big step towards a more secular worldview. Many of the US Founding Fathers considered themselves Deists. After Darwin discovered evolution and when the Big Bang was discovered that’s when atheism really kicked off. Because people now finally had a viable alternative to a divine creation of the universe
@@silvanvanderhorst7366 Let me get this straight, so Deism in Assassin's Creed would be believing in the Isu. I am Catholic Christian, But I understand that the aim of Assassin's Creed is not to propagate Atheism or Deism, but to invent a story behind religions, I know that the Isu existed in 75,000 BC and they were much more powerful than us humans, and they created us to use us as labor and we humans worshiped them as gods, and then some gods fell in love with humans, And then hybrid humans were born, which would be normal humans with Isu characteristics, such as Eagle Vision, and then the Isu were extinct from Earth, and traces of their constructions remained, Humans making religions based on the Isu, for example Norse mythology that worshiped the Isu of Asgard.
But despite the knowledge of the first civilization, some protagonists of Assassin's Creed continued following Christianity like Adéwalé and Shay, implying that Assassins and Templars do have religious people among them
i dont think ac protagonists followed any religions as the organization is atheist
however reading the comments makes me believe tat everyone in the organization follows own religions and beliefs and the organization is secular
Like Eivor/Eivør, I am also a Norse Pagan. Most Norwegians are christians. I was raised to be a Norse Pagan but with a more modern and civil point of view for sure. We have rules and words of wisdom like christianity but very different. I go to parties, ceremonies and Hof (let’s call that church). I got many christian friends. Also muslims. I will treat common folk with respect as long as they do the same to me. Our version of Norwegian is ancient and super hard for other Norwegians to understand. You need to be from this area to fully understand us. So we change dialect when we talk with people from other places in Norway.

I think once your in creed, it doesnt matter what your religion is! They only have one purpose, They work in the dark, to serve the light.
Bayek is the most honorable assassin! Very stoic.
I just assume that almost all AC protagonists are atheists / agnostics because those beliefs are technically the core of their brotherhood.
remember that the assassin's brotherhood in this game is different that the irl one. the game one's purely philosophical instead of religious.
however, Bayek is shown to be really devoted to the ancient Egyptian religion practices (remember when he was mad at the guy who poisoned a sacred animal?)
Kassandra prayed during Phoebe's death and also during her dying breath. she also seems to believe in the existence of afterlife. I assume that she's spiritual but irreligious.
Religion is just a organizated system of spiritual beliefs. To be spiritual and not religious is to have vague and contradictory beliefs

I reckon having an Assassin creed based in Asia in countries like India or later Bangladesh would be a great story. They can make story where the British came and colonised India. Oh what a game that would be.
A fully developed and open-world AC set in India would be a dream come true for me. But I feel like the British Raj period is a little overused in both films and literature. I'd rather like a story set between the 17th and 18th century, during the Mughal-Maratha wars. It would be cool to see the Templars operating in secret as members of both empires, or even Rajputs and other Indian kingdoms, while the Assassins travel the whole subcontinent to stop their plans. Also, the truth of Hindu gods being ISU and playing a role in the story could be even more fascinating. The British could still play a role, as they began settling in Eastern India during that time, but not a predominant one.
