There are a variety of religions on all the planets except Kaddek, where there's only one. Here's a brief summary of them.
The Kaddek Religion consists of worshiping the monarchy, and small shrines set up to any Gods and the personal family's ancestors. There is a great amount of respect for the passed and even Gods who the Kaddekians have never interacted with. All Kaddekians share this religion to varying degrees.
organized in order of most popular
Adricta's primary religion consists of worshipping the Goddess and Tren, and acknowledging Kadek and Divalgo as Gods, giving them respect and shrines. As Calvin is a constant threat for almost all Adrictans, they often leave sacrifices on his various shrines to gain favor and not be harmed by him. It semi-works: the Kingdom is not safe but the individuals are.
Goddess worship is, like the name suggests, worshipping of the Goddess. Tren is recognized as a God and his shrine is regularly visited and such. However, only the Goddess has actually worship. Like in the primary religion, there are sacrifices for Calvin. Though, in Kingdoms were Goddess worship is the main religion, it seems that the Kingdom is safe as well as the individuals.
Hanyulde is the worship of Galliana and her little sister, Hanye. They have a recognition of Tren and the Goddess, and also visit their shrines. Shrines made by the Hanyuldists are often simple but lovely, and Gialliana's and Hanye's shrines are as plentiful as the other Gods. Hanyuldists believe in Jhodin as a reincarnating history keeper, though not as a God. Hanyuldists, like the previous religions, leave sacrifices for Calvin, though they only occasionally protect people.
Jhodinism is the worship Jhodin as the true God. They claim that the others stole their world from him and cursed him to forever wander and reincarnate on Adricta. Jhodinists believe that there will be no salvation until Jhodin is returned to his rightful place, though there's another, smaller group that believes Paradise is salvation; and that when Jhodin recieves the Universe again, all those in Paradise will be brought to the true afterlife. Extremists of Jhodinism, however, often destroy and desecrate shrines for the other Gods and Goddesses. The one exception is Hanye's shrine, as they believe Hanye to be Jhodin's daughter (as opposed to Tren's) and that's why she's looking for him. Jhodinists refuse to leave sacrifices for Calvin, and oftentimes he'll invade Kingdoms, gather up all the Jhodinists, and then execute them publicly. This doesn't stop people from believing this.
Kaddek's Religion was popularized by the Kaddekians. It is quickly growing in popularity. Only Kaddek-the-God isn't confused by this religion and its growing popularity.
No worship is where the Gods aren't worshipped, though they are respected and recognized as being Gods. Sacrifices for Calvin are rare for the unworshippers, as well as any offerings on other shrines. However, they seem content to keep to themselves and never cause trouble. As such, they're not persecuted against... just asked a lot of questions.
Calsevor's religion is the religion inside Calsevor. As such, Calvin regulates it. He seems to be pretty loose with it: he requires honorment and/or worship (his Kingdom has shrines for him), and no recognition of Tren as being a God. As these are the only regulations, people rarely go against the regulation in Calsevor. Most use a modified version of the Goddess worship. No shrines for Tren are ever in Calsevor, and when new land is acquired, all shrines for Tren are destroyed.
Finally, no religion is the least popular "religion" in Adricta. Characterized by the disbelief that the Gods are, indeed, Gods, this could be considered the equivalent of Earth's athiesm. They consider the Gods to be just overpowered, ordinary people, and have been known to perhaps rebel against them. They've gone as far as destroying shrines; this is actually a more common occurance than in Jhodinism.
