    In 5e, a religion check isn’t to see how well you commune with your God. It’s how well you know any given god’s traits, domain, followers, plane, etc.

        That’d be 5e’s History and Arcana, respecitvely.
        I’ve gone back and forth on the way 5e does it. Making it simple is nice for newer players (fewer choices, those picks are broader). I still prefer 3.5’s big granular list. Not sure how Pathfinder compares.

          PF1 had basically the same giant list as 3.5, but PF2 simplified things to a large degree. That’s where the aforementioned society and lore skills come from.
