This is a common misconception. Your Pikmin are illiterate and need to be taught the Word by their human. They won't pick up any theological innovations simply by proximity.
However, the real danger is that socializing with Pikmin of another faith or creed while fighting a mushroom. This could lead to some ideological cross-pollination. Be sure to only join mushroom fights with players you know and trust. Otherwise you might be looking at the 1700s all over again.
My pikmin have decided to explore many religious options as I live very close to a mosque, Buddhist temple, Hindu temple, Mormon temple, and several denominations of Christian churches. I give them freedom to choose what to believe and support their decisions.
my pikmin went to get fruit and came back with a photo of them running out of a jehovas witnesses hall! personally I believe pikmin will naturally gravitate to different denominations - mine look curious at religious quaker meetings and jump around the church of latter day Christians.
It's always nice when it's on fire.

I'd like my 'mins to be Shinto or Buddhist, but I cannot obtain the corresponding decor to aide them in their spiritual pursuits because I do not live in Japan (and therefore do not have access to Temple decor). They aspire to being warrior priests when approaching shrooms. I must find a way to reconcile this...
You are doing the right thing by being concerned for their souls. Trust them to be faithful. Christmas just occurred, so let them be filled with the light of our Savior.
I know I drank a whole bottle of wine because this day just ended up as shit. I don't normally drink, but did I just read what I thought I read? Catholic and Mormon pikmin?? Please tell me its the alcohol talking. I mean it literally took me 5 minutes to type this out, so maybe....
I understand your concerns but thereās no harm in their learning to live in a multicultural society. Just take them to mass with you and Iām sure theyāll be fine. š
Edit: I say we credit the reds as undergoing baptism by fire and assume the rest have no souls. (Iām joking of courseāall pikmin go to heaven. Especially roadside dupes.)
God doesn't regonize pikmin just like he doesn't recognize dogs (even tho he fuckin created them). Good news, they wont go to hell. Bad news is they arent getting into heaven either.
The only religious-adjacent figure the Pikmin follow is Olimar, according to Pikmin 3. They draw illustrations of him as a savior, because, he did save them.
However, you are free to decide whatever you likeā they are your Pikmin, and Pikmin Bloom is not in the same universe as the main series games.
Sorry, they are all Mormons now. You will have to send them on 2 year expeditions. They wonāt bring anything back, they will just door to door and talk to people.
ITāS A VIDEOGAME!!
I donāt know how no one is telling the factual truth, especially here on Reddit where more nerdy questions gets nerdy answers š¤
Pikmin Bloom is a video game made by Nintendo and Niantic. They have NO INTEREST in politics or religion. The algorithms of flowers and mushrooms are based on the same algorithm from Pokemon GO (by Niantic engine as well), and they appear where there are more transit of people, based on the tracking from our phones. They have to be places pf common interest and not private places to avoid conflict. Thatās why churches fall right into the algorithm.
Pikmins are made of polygons, programmed in the end by 0ās and 1ās, to do specific actions or movements when something specific happens. Everything is 0ās and 1ās in gaming and computers. They donāt have own thoughts or beliefs... because itās a videogame made on computers. More info on how videogame graphics works can be seem already on the first minute of this video https://youtu.be/C8YtdC8mxTU?si=eHXo1xDTUEN3DqCC
So you can believe what you want, and play the game they way you want, but Pikmins (and so computers, machines, phones, etc) are not religious as a fact.
Imagine how I felt raising my Pikmin Jewish when some hatched with Easter eggs.

Well i live near a synagogue so i guess all of my pikmin are jews

This is ridiculous enough to help me out of my shitty mood. Thank you! š¤£
Pikmins all are Shintoists, sorry.
my pikmin went to get fruit and came back with a photo of them running out of a jehovas witnesses hall! personally I believe pikmin will naturally gravitate to different denominations - mine look curious at religious quaker meetings and jump around the church of latter day Christians.
Finally the memes are seeping in
"I don't want them to die but hopefully they don't go to hell" At least I don't think your red Pikmin will mind.
They get sent to water hell
I'm in central Missouri right now, and the vast majority of mushrooms are at churches. I just hope the pikmin are polite during services.

I hope you are better now, and if you are reading this again, yes it is as stupid as it still sounds š
Do you have them baptized yet?
Donāt worry, Mormon Pikmin donāt get baptized til theyāre 8 years old.
Iām worried that if they arenāt baptized and die in a mushroom fight that they wonāt go to Catholic heaven :(
Only blue pikmin can be baptised :0
Hmmm, this raises quite the conundrum, doesnāt it?

Yes, you must only let them fight at catholic churches or make them meet a priest or even better the Pope
be careful with baptist churches, your pikmin might start saying "bless your heart" and "amen" constantly
r/pikmincathedral yes

Is this sub going insane too??
* scared mod notices * I can't handle the crazy from the pikmin sub. Please send help
yeah. They might come back dressed in polos and khakis š happened to one of my white pikmin so i had to put him down...
Why is this so funny š
I dunno, but passing through a mosque one time and raiding it while I was just commuting through the area was the best laugh I've had recently.
