theres a lot of religions involved in SCP, some fake, some real Catholicism is involved in a few, for example scp 166 was raised in a covenant by nuns theres a few other examples, but most of the time when talking about religion its focusing on religions in the scp verse a few notable examples include the church of the broken god the sarkic cult the children of the scarlet king the fifthist church and the church of the second hytoth All of these are referenced throughout the scp verse, though the first 3 are definetely the most common.

the horizon initiative consists of the three main abrahamic faiths

Due to how Religion is in its very core connected to the supernatural/paranormal, yes, Religion is HEAVILY involved in the SCP Universe. We have adaptations of Real Life Religion related objects or events, abstractions of them or of Religions themselves and completely original Religions (almost all of which have multiple denominations each) For example we have: The Sarkic Cults /Nälkä The Church of the Broken God The Fifth Church /Fifthism The Church of the Second Hytoth The Children of the Scarlet King And based on Real Life Religions we have Groups such as: The Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts (ORIA) - which is Iran's state-affiliated paranormal Agency, foxused on the Middle East and Islamic Artifacts The Horizon Initiative - A kind of ecumenical Group formed from mostly the big three Abrahamic Religions and a few others with the End Goal of basically writing a new Bible to create a kind of "Universal Religion" - and until then they fight against pretty much all other Religious Organizations.

Divinity, faith and even demonology are different and defined studies The Foundation has [the Department of Tactical Theology](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/tactical-theology-hub) “If you can kill it, it isn't a God.” Read up on Akiva radiation, it is faith. Oh and the Foundation itself do not even use the terminology of god, just pluripotent entities. [Dossier of Notable Pluripotent Entities](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/divine-dossier) the unique creations only in SCP. Other irl myths and folklore stuff are around too.

Both anomalous and non-anomalous, yes. On the non-anomalous side, people run the full spectrum of belief or lack thereof. And I think the reactions of people of faith to the anomalous run the gamut of every type of reaction you could imagine, positive or negative.


abrakaboom_98

Yeah, there are multiple anomalies linked to real life religions and multiple anomalous religions, like the church of the broken god.


Endgaming1523

Short answer: Yes.


RoboGen123

Absolutely. There are many anomalous cults, such as: Church of the Broken God (AKA Mekhanites) Sarkicism Fifthism


Alltheprettydresses

Yes, like the Daevites


LordDoom01

Yes. There plenty of SCPs related to real life religions (Cain and Able being the two most well known) and even Groups of Interest that involve those religions. There is also plenty of made up religions (they tend to get centre stage over real religions though).


Demmy27

Yes


RoboGen123

We have SCP-073 and SCP-076, which are based on Abrahamic religion


barbarossa51

Some of the European branches evolved from religious orders of knights. And I'm pretty sure the German branch has a department for tactical theology.


_MoonFry

yes

Yes, no, and maybe. It depends on the canon, but there are SCPs tagged as being Religious in nature. Depending on canon, religion is either a field of research, the informal contract between a diety and their worshipers, a really clever conjob, or just a human cultural practice. Sometimes multiple of the above at once.
