Rodcet is great because "through faith in the Prime Healer, the wounded heart of the universe shall one day be mended, and death's dark shadow will never be seen again." Very romantic.

Tunare is my usual choice, because nature is great and it makes me think of the whole "oneness" thing.

Quellious is interesting, and it reminds me of Eastern religions which I'm kinda into.

It's such a shame that I have to pick just one race and religion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
