alright looks at you. religion in the underground.

i think religion and spirituality is sort of dying out by the time undertale itself takes place? there's honestly barely any talk of the Surface or any traditions at all, and the most prominent religious symbol in deltarune is mentioned in exactly one place by one really old shopkeeper. love you gerson

that being said i think undertale's religion is sort of a mishmash of surface things. a dash of abrahamic religion (mainly about the concept of an Angel and the idea of eternal salvation), plenty of star imagery (wishing on the stars in waterfall, save stars.. god. save stars.), maybe some traditions seen in magazines rescued from the surface (christmas,, i'm fond of the gyftmas headcanon but iirc they really do just call it christmas ingame LOL)

hope, compassion, and wishes are extremely important too i think, and they've rooted themselves in the basis for monster culture even divorced from their religious roots.

i cannot think about actual organized traditions but these things haunt me sometimes anyway utmv ask coming next
