Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. Its followers, known as Christians, believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and the Messiah (Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament. To Christians, Jesus Christ is a teacher, the model of a virtuous life, the revealer and Son of God, being very God of one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, in one essence as the Holy Trinity. He is the savior of humanity who suffered, died, and was resurrected to bring about salvation from sin. Christians maintain that Jesus ascended into heaven, and most denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead, granting everlasting life to his followers.

Heathenry is the modern Pagan religion focused on Germanic pre-Christian beliefs, notably those of Scandinavian cultures. Its followers, called Heathens, worship numerous gods (Odin, Thor, Freyja, etc) and venerate their ancestors and spirits of the land (called 'wights', also known as elves/álfar and dwarves/dvergar). While there is no sacred text ''per se'' for Heathenry, writings such as the Prose and Poetic Eddas and the Hávamál are held as important. Heathen holidays focus on the cycle of nature, with the four largest festivals marking cross-quarters of the year; Ostara (Spring Equinox), Midsummer (Summer Solstice), Winter Finding (Autumn Equinox), and Yule (Winter Solstice). Morally, Heathens respect and hold in high regard living with honor, staying true to one's word, and honoring one's ancestors through their deeds.

In the 26th Century, the colony world of [[Sedra]] is noted by [[Lieutenant]] [[Michael Horrigan]] as "still believing in Valhalla". Valhalla, in Norse mythology, is the High Hall of the god Odin, and one of several afterlife destinations in Heathenry; notably for those who have died in combat and are chosen by Odin.
