At the start of every game, all players (AI bots included) must select a god to worship. Each grants a unique bonus effect or alternate starting equipment to the player and determines which monsters they can summon as ghosts. Starting stats are not determined by which deity you choose, as they are all the same.
As an unlockable feature, players may instead choose to worship "No-one", which then prompts the player to choose a god to taunt. Doing so imposes a god-specific penalty upon the player as well as a unique monster set. This is helpful when playing with groups of differing skill, as the better players can taunt gods and let the newer players worship gods normally.
