Hey devs and guys!
I was just going to buy the new expansion for destiny 2 today, but ended up reading about it a bit first. I went to eurogamer and it seemed really cool, but unfortunately I don't think I am going to buy it.
The reason being that I don't like the religious themes which are being put in the game, ie. an "altar" where you will be rewarded with Vex weapon or some kind of "prophecies"/quests, where you also get gear.
I know for others this might be a minor issue, but I just can't stand when religion gets put in game, where it plays no role - like a looter rpg which Destiny 2 is.
Some of you might be able to figure my faith out from my battletag, but please, stay on topic of my worry - I might totally have misunderstood what was meant with altar/prophecies, so would love to hear more / discuss further - especially from a dev, but also anyone else.

Have you even been paying at least a bit of attention to what the entire goal of Destiny is? To protect that giant globe in the sky "The Traveler" which is basically a god to earth because of what it did. Get over it. Its a FANTASY religion, not an actual religion. It would be one thing if it was shoving something like Christianity down your throat but that is the furthest from the truth. Its a fantasy game. Something you should be familiar with like all other religions.
