re: religion: do you mean, figuring out their religious views in-universe, or in AU-ish things?
in-universe, I agree that religion's mad-tricky to sort out; for games that deal so much with divine beings, they tend to skirt religion as much as possible. in an AU setting, though, I think it'd actually be sort of fun to speculate on the religious views of different characters...
eirika: moderate, relatively liberal Christian. prays somewhat regularly, esp. when in the middle of dire circumstances or a big decision
ephraim: went to church a couple times as a kid, mostly fidgeted in the pews the whole time and absorbed very little. probably has some vague belief in God if you ask him about it, but he doesn't think much about it otherwise
innes: ...would be just "Christian" enough to appeal to religious voters when he inevitably launches his political campaigns, but secretly thinks religion is largely irrelevant and a waste of time
probably derailing even further oops
