Ji Jingqiu looked at the idol in front of him that he had been worshipping for almost ten years.
Although he no longer believed in gods, he still ceremoniously offered several sticks of incense.
Don't ask; he had believed once.
In fact, he always doubted whether this god actually existed.
The Federation does indeed have gods, but that doesn't stop most of them from being fraudulent fabrications designed to deceive people.
For example, the temples in the lower sectors, nine out of ten are created by gangs to fool their followers, to strengthen their beliefs, but they simply don't exist.
For a god of this era to emerge and survive, it requires the long-term supplication of a large number of believers' faith.
Both "large number" and "long term" mean that it's not something that can be pulled off by just any grass-roots organization.
The most direct point is, what value can your gods actually bring to their believers?
