| - The Bajoran religion was the faith of the Bajoran people, based on the worship of the Prophets. The Bajorans believed the Prophets guided and protected Bajor from their abode in the Celestial Temple. (DS9 episode: "Emissary", et al.) Almost all Bajorans followed the faith and the Bajoran religion influenced all of Bajoran society. For instance, in 2370, a Vedek, Sloi, was also director of the government Council on Ecological Controls. (DS9 novel: Devil in the Sky) Any alternate interpretation of the relationship between the Bajorans and Prophets was met with hostilities and quickly quashed by the religious authorities. This strong enforcement of the religion kept Bajorans united, but had the more sinister background of crushing anyone with an alternative take on the Bajoran's relationship with the Prophets, such as Ohalu who realised the Prophets were aliens rather than gods and saw the Bajorans and Prophets more as equals, learning from each other. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One) The Prodigal was a significant figure in the religion and was the namesake of one of Bajor's moon, Baraddo. (DS9 novel: Devil in the Sky; ST - The Fall novel: Revelation and Dust)
- Bajoran religion is centered around worshiping the Prophets who reside in the Celestial Temple. The principle artifacts of their faith are the Tears of the Prophets, which were sent to the Bajorans over a ten thousand year period by the Prophets. (DS9: "Emissary", et al) The Bajoran religion is overseen by the Vedeks of the Vedek Assembly, lead by the Kai, the highest spiritual leader on Bajor. In 2369, the Emissary of the Prophets was revealed when Benjamin Sisko discovered the Bajoran wormhole fulfilling a Bajoran prophecy. (DS9: "Emissary") While most of the populace of Bajor worship the Prophets, a smaller subsection worship the Pah-wraiths. The worshipers of the Cult of the Pah-wraiths were widely considered a joke by most Bajorans, but the temporary closing of the Bajoran wormhole in 2374 increased the cult's influence.

- The word of the Prophets guided Bajor for tens of thousands of years, and over the years, ten orbs, or "tears of the Prophets", had emerged from the wormhole. (DS9: "Emissary") The spiritual leader of Bajor was called the Kai. (DS9: "Emissary", "Resurrection" VOY: "State of Flux", "Flesh and Blood") Commander Benjamin Sisko was the first man to fly through the newly-opened wormhole. While flying through, he encountered the wormhole aliens which the Bajorans believed to be the Prophets. They spoke to him in enigmatic ways that seemed strangely wise and even prophetic. When the Bajorans learned about Sisko's experience, they identified him with their religion's Emissary. (DS9: "Emissary") For a long time, Sisko remained skeptical of who the aliens were. (DS9: "Accession", "Rapture", "The Reckoning") The Prophets continued to talk to Sisko and guided him through the Dominion War. They were able to reach him even when he was outside of the wormhole. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels", "Tears of the Prophets", "Penumbra", "'Til Death Do Us Part", "What You Leave Behind") Eventually, Sisko learned that his mother was a Prophet. Sisko later joined the Prophets in the Celestial Temple after defeating Dukat in Bajor's Fire Caves. (DS9: "Image in the Sand", "What You Leave Behind") In 2369, Vedek Winn Adami accused Keiko O'Brien of blasphemy because of her scientific way of teaching knowledge to her students at her school aboard the space station Deep Space 9. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets") Deep Space 9 also had a place in the Bajoran religion as the "gateway" to the Celestial Temple. (DS9: "The Reckoning") Charity, humility, and faith were seen as the keys to enlightenment in the Bajoran faith. (DS9: "Covenant") The Bajoran wormhole was unknown in the mirror universe and the Orbs were never sent to Bajor, so there was no worship of the Prophets. The Bajorans of the Mirror Universe did believe in a pantheon of gods and had some form of an organized religion, but the faith was not central to their daily lives. (DS9: "Resurrection")
