@@wiseassfish9013 ye
I'm so glad you included the BoS as a religion in this video. Most people tend to dismiss it as one due to them not having an obvious deity. Techno-cults like them are interesting to me
I'm pretty sure most of the members are some form of post apocalyptic christians.
@@asteroidalassassin6949 they should be more post apocalyptic Christians. For God sake, the entire world burned in fire, just like Saint John said it would. True it was a nuclear fire, but you try telling that to classical age people who have not invented the atomic bomb yet.
@@christianali5431 when 90% of people die you either become super fanatical or super atheist. Either of these could cause folk to associate religion with crazy people and avoid it.
The Adeptus Mechanicus and BoS oar simmiler
Imcidentally, have you heard of cargo cults?
There’s the idea that Brights followers didn’t go to space but instead went to the Glow, an area mentioned in the early fallouts which would make more sense as to how they got back
Where can that idea be read? Because it makes kinda sense. If you crunch the numbers in Fallout 3 at the museum exhibit about the astronaut, he couldn't have gone that far in that time. And then there's the fact that WW3 wasn't nuked out with missiles, but mainly with bombers. And this is where things get strange. The V-2 rocket could reach 320 km / 200 mi. It could carry a payload of ca 1 metric ton. Not that sophisticated. But even in 1945 it was enough to carry nukes that wasn't too heavy.
*So how come that in 132 years, rocket technology hasn't developed enough to neither have a proper ICBM nuclear war nor go to the moon?*
Yeah, the Fallout-universe has far better advances in genetics and AI. And it's really impressive to make rockets that can take you on a jaunt across the continent and return safe in one piece, not gonna lie.
And come to think of it. I think that cutsey rockets like this are much more advanced than ours.
@@abaddonanon7573 I'm not entirely certain which video it was but it was on TKs-Mantis channel, he does high quality lore videos like yaboii and I would recommend checking him out. I wouldn't do the explanation justice but he mentions the fact the rockets don't go up, the fact that they are no were near the same type of rockets seen in the REPCONN facility capable of making it to space and so on. Hope this helps
Edit: May have been 'Little-Known Facts about Fallout NV' but idk.
that doesn't really make much sense though because they could probably walk to the glow in about a month maybe less, definitely no need for a rocket
@@diffsnicker4664 Er, did you just say that they could walk from Las Vegas to Boston in a month? :-/
According to Here We Go, that trip by foot takes ca 36 days. (The first solution suggested that you cross Lake Michigan and Eire.) And that's when nothing goes wrong during peacetime.
Then a group of humans marching will for some reason always move slower than a single human walking.
But the distance Las Vegas - Boston works for shorter space flights. Like the "space jumps" of The Mercury Program, only that the whole rocket is reusable.
So it's a kinda cute storey. The Brights flies to The Glow via outer space, have a time of their life. And then returns the same way they came via outer space in time to save the day in Novac! :3
@@abaddonanon7573 er no I said they could walk from Vegas to the glow in about a month, the Location in fallout 1 in case you didn't know
I would still love to see a Catholic Fallout faction, imagine their leader being a Bishop or Cardinal with all the pseudo Knight speak, ecclesiastical Latin, religious orders, a faction that actually provides alms for the poor, and maybe some violent radicalism like crusaders or conquistadors.
Yeah but maybe people would feel offended, perhaps that’s the reason why Fallout’s creators made new religions
@@NoeHernandezPe767 Explain why they're so keen to shit on the Mormans then. Also as long as they didn't call the priests boy fuckers or act like the perfidious English i wouldn't be offended lmao.
@@ryanrusch3976 ahahah me neither, I actually like how they made fun of Scientology
With all the historical influences in Fallout I really want to see feudalism portrayed. Have some power armored mobility, peasants, and some form of Catholicism, it would be awesome.
There was a priest in fallout 3 who had a church dedicated to Saint Monica although he wasn't a real catholic priest it was still cool to see.
Please never stop making these videos. You’re fantastic and they’re some of the few things I look forward to. ESPECIALLY because you don’t just read off a Wiki page...
Thanks so much, glad you’ve enjoyed them!
I misread you comment as to tell him to stop making videos because of how good he was at making them lmao

Y'all forgot Courieriaism.
The worship of the Courier.
The True lord and savior and decimator of the Mojave.
It is worshipped by those who obsess him.
Not one conversation goes without talking about them.

Imagine an actual courier 6 cult in an fallout New Vegas sequel
Because the ability to punch deathclaw to death with your bare hands is epic
Nothing will EVER hit me like the master did. That dialogue is so fucking beautiful.
Idk exactly what game it was but I know that metal gear solid has one dialoge with an ai that is just awesome
I think the church in Diamond City can be considered an evolution of the Unitarian Universalist church that has been historically, very powerful in Boston, although limited mostly to wealthy urban and suburban areas and among academics in areas outside of Massachusetts and Vermont. The church didn't care exactly what you believe, which is mostly in line with Unitarian theology, although the latter tends to have a lot of atheists and humanists as well.
It’s also why the nearest church is “Trinity Church” because they wanted to rub in the fact that they do, actually, believe in the trinity.
There are also actual Christians here and there, such as Marcella from Point Lookout, the father of the Lone Wanderer, and possibly the Lone Wanderer himself, depending on player choices
Mormons are Christians.
@@thepreacher7399 hardly
6:59 there's also the guy in Nuka World, he's a glowing one as well.
Glad I wasn't the only one. was just about to comment about Oz the great
He even has glowing one's powers,like reviving ghouls and rad explosion
Very true, my mistake!
There's also Typhon in Fallout 2, son of Set from Fallout 1.
In fact in Fallout 2 you have several glowing ones in gecko that aren't feral. And I'm not sure the ones in Vault 12 in Fallout 1 were feral. I think they were only extremely aggressive to invaders, but still intelligent.
Honestly thought the jackals and vipers were just 2 bandit gangs, never took 'em for tribals, or even remnants of tribes.
To be fair, they never actually got that lore put into the games, hell, they weren't even in FO1 & 2. All their lore comes from the Fallout Bible and comments from the lore writers. Shame that they ended up as only generic raiders in NV, especially since we can only assume they also ended up in Mojave for the same reasons the Khans did, NCR pushed them.
There is actually two non feral glowing ones in the fallout universe, the magician guy from nukaworld is as well

I find it hard to believe that the children of atom started in Megaton, since in just 10 years, the religion goes from a handful of people in the capitol wasteland, to numerous groups through out the commonwealth, and the large group in Farharbor. It seems more likely that the cultists in Megaton are missionaries, or pilgrims, who travelled to megaton after hearing of the bomb through rumors and travelers. As for where the children actually come from, the stronger presence in the Commonwealth and Farharbor, suggests they originate some where in the north east. A fitting place of origin could be the city of Providence in Rhode Island, given the religious undertone of the name, as well as it having been the home of H.P. Love Craft, who seems to be a partial inspiration for some of the ideas behind the children.
I'm pretty sure you put more thought into this than bethesda did. Seeing what they did with BoS in 76, they dont seem to really care about lore logic.
I don't remember much about Fallout 3 but I'm pretty sure the church of atom there went several generations back, which means it was probably more like 30 to 40 years for them to spread around the US.
Yeah, specialy because their religión is just fucking stupid in all forms
Oswald from nula world is the only other sane glowing one in fallout besides Jason bright
Yeah and "sane"
If you could consider jason bright sane. Man legit launched himself into space.

Discuss the topics Fallout not very many people do and give constructive and likely theories. About would happen. I'm so happy I found this channel
Thanks for being here so long mate!
Watching the video now but wonder if it will be mentioned. The Fallout series is inspired in part by the book A Canticle for Leibowitz. It deals with this exact premise, where post apocalyptic catholic-like monks in an age of decay and darkness find the sacred documents; blueprints for the holy Fallout Shelter.
Can't recommend the novel enough to folks that aren't aware of it
Sounds great, I’ll have to see if I can find it anywhere.
I’ve just had a look and purchased the book, thanks for the recommendation dude looks like an awesome read
The Mother in the Fog is a Child of Atom, I don't remember if it was expressly stated but it can be implied by all the stealth boys.
I never realized quite how in depth the belief system of the Children of Atom were
Very interesting so far, though I never am disappointed by your content. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
@@yaboiii6562 Np man
it's nice to see Maxson all grown up, but sad to see Sarah did not make it....
Small correction: Jason Bright is not the only sentient glowing one. Oswald the Outrageous retains his sentience as well.
the fact that you went up with the Master with a power fist is wild
“Jason bright, the only non feral glowing one in The fallout series”
Oswald and Hank: am i a joke to you?
I believe in the Easy Pete religion
Take it easy
13:30 it's possible the Children of Atom are at the initial stages of ghoulification, and those who had children had them before sterility set in. This is supported by the sparse head hair many among them have.
There are eldritch entities lurking in the fallout universe.
Perhaps the Children of Atom and the swamp-folk are guided by an entity called Ug-Qualtoth.
Why is it SO easy to fall in love with Fallout?
You forgot the Dead Horses and the toaster from OWB (it's small but it's funny)
The unbelievers will curse the day they have bread, but have nothing to toast it with!
The synths basically see Shaun as a god I feel like that’s always overlooked when it comes to the religions of the games, they hold the player to the same godlike status as they do Father in and they also obviously call Shaun, Father not so much from a genetics point of view but from a religious point of view, if you play as a woman they will refer to you as “Mother” upon shaun’s death as a way of continuing their worship of their creator even when their godlike being dies, I guess technically it would be less of a religion and more of a divine ruler but still
Oh that's cool
@@christiandidonna8808 to add to this and clarify a bit better. The Gen 3 synths and coursers share the genetic material of Shaun and the Character, while calling Shaun father in that regard might be seen as a gesture to their relation to Shaun genetically. What’s odd is that the Gen 2 and Gen 1 synths also refer to Shaun as Father and the character as Father or Mother depending on the gender. Which would seem to me be seen as reverence of a godlike being even though they have no direct connection to Shaun and some are even older than Shaun by existing while the character’s family was still frozen. So what it seems to be is a reverse techno religion. Machine worshiping man for its creation and by that extent worshiping the “creator of the creator” could also go more into why the human institute scientists also call Shaun father, but that’s a whole other post lol
@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 okay that’s actually really cool concept
That is the title of the head of the institute
@@ChristianAuditore14 Director is the title of the head of the institute
You forgot the cult of the Mothman. One of the most interesting ones.
I had planned to put them in another vid on prewar religions that survived. Very small technicality since they had started before the Great War.

He had to go through 5th grade twice, that why he is soo elequintly spoocin
I just realized is the viper cult and their "great snake" another Lovecraft reference we'd all been missing .
12:40 there’s also a abandoned house in far harbor, on the 2nd floor there’s a few stealth boys and notes with phrases mother says during your vision, so it could be somebody using a stealth boy
The crazy thing about the Children of Atom in Fallout (4 and 76 at least) is that they actually don’t take radiation damage. They legitimately have a community within the Glowing Sea, and with absolutely no Rad-Away anywhere to be found. No poisoning, no ghoulification, no cancer. They’re literally proven to be true, it’s super freaking cool tbh, makes me wish they were one of the playable factions in 4, where you just get to nuke every other faction “For ATOM!!!” lmao 😂 if someone makes a mod for it, pls make a vid for them so I can play it.
In Far Harbour, you have the option to join their faction, and they explain that not everyone has "Atom's Blessing", so they still stock _some_ radiation medication. There's one Child of Atom who is desperately trying to obtain this blessing, there's a minor quest in the DLC about him. I'd recommend Far Harbour if you can get around to the Fallout 4 DLCs
So they are ghouls
That first one about the dogs is enough to burn the legion in my eyes.
The master: "unity can only be achieved by making one race"
Also the master: proceeds to make nightkins, a 2nd group of super mutants with obvious differences.
To be fair it was accidentally, as their blueish hued skin and severe mental disorders come as a result of constant overuse of Stealth Boys

The Brotherhood of Steel really didn’t have a religious vibe until Fallout 4. But Bethesda made a good decision (they’ll do that every now and again) when it came to them in FO4. They feel like a holy order akin to the Teutonic order. Hell they even have a Deus Vult stand in. (Ad Victoriam)
Honestly, I'd say it was there from the start, and that it just took until Bethesda came around to come to the forefront. There was a cut NPC in 1 who even compares the organization to the Knights Templar, and discusses how the BoS is structured like a "pseudo-religious" organization and should "understand our past if we are to recognize our directions for the
future".
While it wasn't quite as obvious back then (especially as this NPC was indeed cut as I said; I guess they thought people would misunderstand the dialogue and think the BoS are literally descended from the Templars), I think the organization was always supposed to have techno-cult undertones to it.
@@LonelySpaceDetective well the botherhood's theme is literally called metallic monks.
@@DM-mi4je From what I read, it's my understanding that the names for the songs on Fallout 1 and 2's OST were originally fanmade, and only later became official.
Even then though, that's telling; it means that people recognized the religious undertones of the Brotherhood well before Fallout 4 was a thing.
Another great video dude! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks a ton!
Im fairly sure the bright brotherhood were going to dayglow, not actually into space. That's why we see them in novac later on, its not because they failed but because they succeeded, and are establishing trade with dayglow.
Love your work, compadre.
Thank you!
There's also alot of "Worship of America/The Old World" in Fallout, especially by The Enclave and characters like Ulysses.
I mean if you lived in an irradiated wasteland who would wanna live in the past
17:54 I think the definition of "religion" really makes that distinction unimportant. Even if they worship a character that you know is not divine, they still have a spiritual connection with their beliefs.
Love your vids dude, can't wait for the next one!
Thanks mate!
Waited for a new video! :D glad to see you again!! had to rewatch the other videos til you released another one, you're really good man
Appreciate it! Apologies for the horrific upload schedules.
@@yaboiii6562 to be honest, it was super worth it in the end lol. i used to wonder what happened to minority religions in the US like judaism and mormonism (outside of Utah, maybe religions like islam are more of a better example for US minority religions), i think that topic could come as really interesting if done right. by the by, since you already replied, you ever think about maybe making a discord community? finding a good community to talk about fallout lore is pretty tough and i sure as shit can't for the life of me manage a community by myself but i thought that since you've a growing following online, maybe you'd give it a thought?
One of the next ones I had planned was in the same theme, but on continuing prewar religions so that might also be of interest! I’ve thought of it, although I saw there were quite a few Fallout Discord servers so wasn’t sure if mine might be oversaturating the area.
@@yaboiii6562 I can understand how it looks from your point of view, but honestly it's hard to find a comfortable spot for that stuff from the user's perspective, not a creator's, you know? I can def get the hesitation though i hope you might reconsider eventually. What about Pre-war cultures in the world of Fallout? Like how Chinese culture still exists, evidently, at least in San Francisco. Say, what happened to Native-American cultures after the war, European cultures, things like that! As an example, you can see that the Great Khans are almost completely based off of the Mongols, which (evidently, seeing as you get a book about the Mongols) would suggest that if there's sources of info on the Mongols, there would be on other cultures too, therefore leading to the possibility of there being Wasteland tribes & cultures based off of, say, Celtic cultures. I think it's very interesting, the thought of what happened to old world cultures in the new world :)
Good one keep it up bro always look forward to videos from ya
Thank you!
Another great Informative Video
Keep up the good work 👌
Thank you!
Thanks for the video, very informative content. A couple of points, if I may. I realise you want to be rewarded for your efforts in making this content. Perfectly reasonable. However as someone who tends to listen to these lore videos rather than watch them, if I hadn't skipped some ads, I'd have spent more time listening to ads than the video. That is quite the immersion breaker. Second, great content. Keep it up.
Love this content!

The interesting part about the tribals from Denver is that their entire lore is based on the development notes from the Van Buren Project; otherwise known as Black Isle’s version of Fallout 3.
Long story short, Denver was supposed to be populated by massive numbers of dogs that would roam the wasteland around the metropolitan area.

No children of the apocalypse?
The Hangdogs religion is extremely reminiscent of the Proto-Indo-European people's religion. You were given a puppy when you were a child that you care for by yourself. Then when you reach 10-15, you are taken by one of the Elders with all of the other children to a special place, usually a hut. There, you would probably consume some kinds of psychedelics like poppy or other drugs like primitive weed. Then you would be forced to sacrifice your beloved dog to rid yourself of innocence, and then cook and eat some of the meat, to sort of "become" a dog yourself. There were groups of these "dog people" that roamed Europe and probably served as mercenaries and soldiers until it was time to settle down with a family somewhere. They even had a version of the myth where a domesticated dog is met at a river in the Afterlife, and you have to get past it to get to the good place in the Afterlife. Dan Davis and Crecganford are some amazing channels on the Proto-Indo-Europeans and their culture
Finally, someone else who has an understanding of PIE religion!
This video was great
6:58 isn’t there non-feral growing ones in the necropolis in fallout 1
I’m a Pastor of 3 years with 7 years of theological training, and I wanted to make a comment on the tribes of Zion appropriating aspects of Mormonism and applying it to their already existing religious system.
This is a common phenomenon on the missions field, and is a hotly debated topic between missionaries and resident theologians back home as to whether it is appropriate.
The Catholic Portuguese missions to Japan are a really good example of this (Deus-Sama being a conflation of God the Father and I believe the Shinto Sun God, as well as an over-emphasis on the Virgin Mary from the poor peasants in a manner that made the missionaries uncomfortable).
All this to say is major props to Obsidian for including this in the game, as it is a very realistic depiction of how a culture with a preexisting religious system would be “converted” when exposed to an alternate belief.
The Tribals needed more content
Bethesda needs to quit acting like Tribals don’t exist.
yes
The magician in nukaworld is also a non feral ghoul love the videos keep it up man
I love the leader of the Children of the Cathedral and his voice. Such a unique dialogue that has me hanging on every word!
Cool Video! I hadn't even known the brotherhood had its own theology! Then again the line between philosophy and religion are smaller than one might think, it's all a matter of worldview...

only known glowing one in fallout stares in great oswald
The religions of the wasteland are really interesting. Whether it's the brotherhood of steels religious preservation of technology, or the children of atoms seemingly heretical and barbaric worship of nuclear radiation of all things, there's always something interesting.
At 13:14 -ish, you say the children of atom reside in the crater of the blast that destroyed Boston, where I think you meant to say in the glowing sea, which is much further southwest in what was Rhode Island. Also, their radiation resistance may be early signs of them becoming ghouls.
Wished the point lookout trials were more fleshed out overall.
Old video, but of well. Small correction, Jason Bright isn't the only sentient glowing one. Oswald the Outrageous in 4 is as well.
