What's the point of religion? Does it matter? Does it actually make a difference in your life? These are questions you might hear other people asking. You might even ask them yourself. In this chapter of your Dark Ascent, Melektoth and Elinara discuss organized religion and whether or not it still has a place in the modern world. Each host shares their experiences with religion throughout their upbringing, and shed light on similarities between religions from all over the world. Ever our guide, Melektoth explains the role of certain members of religious groups who are put in place to help guide you through various transitions that will occur throughout your life, and describes the times and events in which belonging to a church or religious organization, or at least subscribing to a belief system can be a positive thing. Whether you value organized religion or not, this transmission is an important one. Tune in and continue your Dark Ascent.
