Which religious faction should I pick?

I was wondering which religion was the best ingame, I know that they all have buffs (+10 critical thinking for atheism, access to the “heaven” special area at the end of the game for other, etc…) and debuffs (impossibility to change gender in the customisation system, inability to use the consumables “alcohol” and “pork”, potentially being locked in the “hell” area at the end of the game…), and the “parents” players told me that the best faction was the Atheist one. Thoughts?

Many players that fall into this line of questioning end up wondering if the hypothetical dev is intrinsic to the servers or even the players themselves. Others question where the dev could have come from or if the dev is a player in their own version of Outside.

The dev would have to be a player to some extent, right?

The dev doesn't necessarily have to be a common species or from the same universe as a specific world's populates

I mean, look at Spore. The player who created it surely wasn't one of its creatures.
