(OOC) let's play a game of "are they yoban". The game where I write down Stardew characters and my reasons why I think they might/might not follow the religion of Yoba and you read it.
Haley: Culturally Yoban. She was raised Yoban by her parents and she still takes the silly little ceremonies like the spring Flower Dance ritual very seriously, but she's doesn't like, practice Yoba in her daily life beyond how it formed her core value system. If pressed, she'd probably tell you she thinks Yoba exists but she doesn't seem too convinced either way.
Hat Mouse: Atheist. Discovered capitalism and realised that buying power has more power than Yoba ever offered him.
Emily: Totally Yoban. Raised Yoban alongside her little sister Haley but while Haley grew up to be less religious than her parents, Emily is far more. She practises Yoba in her daily life and incorporates it into her spirituality too. We don't see her at the shrine on Sundays but that's only because she believes that Yoba's presence is all around us, not in a gilded shrine in the town capitalists basement.
Alex: Big time Yoban. Raised by his religious grandparents he believes in Yoba as a creator being who gave him a second chance at life. He definitely prays semi regularly and kisses his sign of the vessel necklace before every game.
Wizard: Not Yoban. Yoba is a faith, and Magnus has met Yoba personally and beat him at Mahjong. Therefore, is denied faith because he has knowledge.
