This is a big step in your life. Unlike the whimsical religions of other worlds, the choosing of a God or Goddess for devotion becomes permanent. The reason for this is that the gods take an active role once they have you within their flock and they will not release your soul once they have it. There are many perks and negatives to worshipping a god on Avatar. You will have to research, ask around, or take a guess as to whether or not a religion is something you really wish to do. Some Gods, like Bhyss, have only a few benefits (although attractive to some) and many small negatives. The addition of religion to your life, however, will create a more unique experience for you. The choice is yours.

Here's Sheba's take on worship, per her website.

Attribute Bhyss Durr Gorn Kra Quix Roixa Shiz Tor Tul Werre
Sharpening ? better ? ? ? ? better ? worse
Enchanting* worse better worse better ? better worse worse worse
Spell duration better worst best better worse
Spell cost best worse worst better worst worst
Spell lag worse worse better worst better better
Spell AC worse better best better worse worst worse better better
Healing worst better better worse ? worst best worse
Spell damage best ? ? better worse better ? worse worse
Melee damage better worse worse better better better worse best worse best
HP regen worse worse worse worst worse better best
Mana regen worse worse worse worst worse best
HP gains worse ? better better better better
Mana gains better ? better better worse worse
Pracs gains** worse ? worse worse
Pracs to adept better worse worse worse worse worse
Leadership worse worse better best worst better
XP from mobs worst worse worse better
Death cost better worse worse worst worse better

*Enchanting is only affected because of presences. Good god presences turn a shimmer into a brill. Bad god presences turn a brill into a shimmer
**With gods that worsen pracs gained per level, you lose the equivalent of one lowmort prac. Hero pracs/level gains are equal to lowmort gains doubled and rounded down.
