what business?

Six of crows has one of the most fascinating and complex depictions of religion in any fantasy series, ever, especially one that is not specificaly about religion. Instead it presents multiple religious traditions and even different concepts of what religion is and has characters with boldly different relations to it: characters who don’t mention it at all (wylan), characters who seem broadly “secular“ (to use a messy term) but still recognise cultural aspects like reliquaries and saints (Nina), characters who have a changing relationship to traditions and customs and for whom reanalysis/reconnection is key to growth and evolution (Jesper’s incredibly important scene where he thinks of himself as Zowa/Blessed), characters for whom religion is a central justification of a violent and oppressive world view but whom also have to grapple and change their understanding of it even if they don’t reject it completely (Matthias), characters who reject it completely, including for the hypocrisy of organised religion in their own society after personal experience (Kaz), and characters for whom religion is a KEY aspect of personal connection to an oppressed minority culture and an important act of selfhood and liberation (Inej).
