religion & culture
earth
On Earth, the majority of religions have dwindled down, instead being replaced with a form of Christianity that incorporates teachings from other religions such as Confucianism. Upon the dying off of their planet due to their own destruction, most humans found it hard to believe that a God existed. And a good portion of them believe that everything that's happened and they've accomplished has nothing to do with a higher power. Since coming into contact with Elitia, atheism has drastically been on the rise. Due to this, they also saw planets like Nesfervi and Qzinea in even more of a primitive light, while Pawdinoz was largely viewed as ignorant, further stirring along tensions.
nesfervi
However, in Nesfervi, the people believe in numerous Gods of nature. The Sun, Moon, Land, Water, and Life Gods. They don't bow to their Gods nearly as much as Pawdins do, however, they do accept that because of these Gods life continues in one large circle fairly. You're born, you live, you die and your soul is recycled. Nivians believe in reincarnation. That once you die you become the animal or plant that you were closest with so that you become one with the land before being born in their 'human' form again. These Gods never directly speak with the Nivians however, are thought to simply always be there; the sun always shining, the moon always appearing, etc. As long as these elements of nature are there, the Gods are pleased. It is said that long ago, the Gods did once make an appearance back when their planet and the people were created, but since then they've never appeared again. However that is merely legend.
elitia
Unlike their Nivian rivals though, Elitians have always had rather simple approaches to their planet and religion: There is no one above them. This could be due to the naturally superior mindset that Elitians have always had, or simply because they've made such technological advances that they were directly the ones to make their planet as recognized as it is today. Elitians mocked those who believed in Gods like the Nivians and the Pawdins, however in the past they simply kept their mouths shut due to the fact that both planets actually have a lot to offer them. However, upon meeting Earth, they didn't hesitate to emphasize the fact that any and all sort of religion was useless. After all, they were the ones who perfected their race, they were the ones who kept their planet alive, and they were certainly the ones who crossed milestones that no one else ever would have without them.
pawdinoz
On the other side of the spectrum stands the Pawdins. A planet who has had direct encounters with their Gods numerous times. Pawdins are widely known to visit the temples on specific days once a month, and those who go at least once a week are very respected among their fellow Pawdins. Much like Greek Gods, the gods of Pawdinoz are known to be very jealous and wrathful upon its people and animals, hence the reason Pawdins make such strides to keep them at bay. It is said that long ago back when Pawdinoz had first been created and the Gods still visited regularly, the Pawdins started to create their own religion rather than the one cast upon them since creation, and as a result, their Gods came down and took out their anger brutally on the people, animals and the environment. After that, the Gods stopped coming down as frequently, coming only once every few years on choice days, and Pawdinoz was cast into an era of darkness by the God of Wrath that wasn't lifted for 225 years. Since then, Pawdins have been very sure to bow in the direction of their temple once a day at the exact same time a day, no matter where they are.
qzinea
Like their Nivian brothers and sisters, Qzineans worshiped elements of nature: Sun, Moon, Waves, Land, Sky, and Life. However, upon their planet being attacked by the Elitians, many of them felt as if the God of the Waves has died, and thus their religious beliefs have weakened since that God was one of the strongest, if not the strongest, Gods to the Qzineans. Unlike those on Nesfervi, Qzineans often told stories and tall tales depicted through their many art forms of their Gods and how they helped their world turn round. And while initially, this was a beautiful way to keep tradition alive, since the attack, many of them believe that it is time to depict the Gods in another way: through themselves. Thus, the majority of them want to depict the other Gods' wrath towards the fact that the God of the Waves have been weakened, and that can only been shown through War.
