Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Suggestions for writing and storyline

Now that Bhaal is back from the dead (unless I misunderstood the past plot dumps) I'm looking forward to seeing him reprise his role as an important entity in the lore. Maybe even fight him at some point or another. If memory serves me, a tentative setting for Baldur's Gate III that never came to fruition was to be high-level DnD with the Bhaalspawn (who had just ascended to godhood) battling much of Faerun's pantheon. Is atheism even a thing in the Forgotten Realms and if so, what are the ramifications of adhering to such values? Does the alignment system come from the deities themselves or is it a standalone feature of DnD?
