If you’ve ever read much of Brandon Sanderson’s works, you’ve probably picked up a very prominent theme that appears in almost every one of his books. Almost without fail, each one of his stories features a prominent religion within the narrative - at least within the Cosmere. Given his devout Mormon upbringing, this is probably not very surprising. But what does pique my interest, however, is that none of these religions feel contrived or forced.

You can tell that every religion in one of his stories was given proper thought and attention when he crafted them. He made sure that they made sense within the logic of the world and that they were more than just a surface-level thing for the characters to believe in. But, I’m getting ahead of myself.

In this short video, I’d like to go over how Sanderson uses religion in his fantasy stories, how easy it is to do religion wrong in your stories, and why it’s important to get religion right in your own fiction. Before we get to his methods or the pitfalls, let’s briefly look at why religion is such an important part of worldbuilding when it comes to fantasy stories.
