As you know, in Starfield, you can join a faction that meets your standards and preferences, but this is not the only way to join a new community. There are also cults of different religions in the game that you can join, and each of them provides you with a lot of new opportunities and quests. And next in this guide, you will learn more about the Enlightened religion in Starfield.
Among other religions, this one stands out by its ideology and standards. Below is all the information you need to know about this religion.

+ 3Despite the name of this religion, they do not actually dedicate their lives to God. Their main idea is the development of scientific and philosophical fields. They do not depend on any higher power, but act exclusively on their own, relying only on themselves. The members of this religion are outspoken atheists, but this does not mean that their intentions are evil or incorrect. They often participate in numerous humanitarian programs to help people in need, as they believe humans are meant to take care of one another.
It's not known how hostile representatives of religions are to each other, but Enlightened's main rival is Sanctum Universal. These two communities have been competing with each other for years because the main idea of the second one is precisely the belief in and worship of one singular god. Most likely, we will see more than one case of conflict between members of these religions.

Of course, like other religious cults or factions, they will have a specific base of deployment, but this information is not yet known. The Starfield universe will have many locations where the cult is based. That should mean, you will always have an opportunity to communicate or interact with representatives of your religion.

This makes the gameplay much easier because you don't need to complete tasks or quests to join a religion, unlike factions. All you have to do is choose Enlightened as one of your traits when you get the opportunity.
It is not yet known whether you will be able to change your religion to another during the game, but we think it will be possible, so if you join one that you don't like, there is no need to worry.
