on FFXI I always make sure to stop by the Church of Altana and pay my respects when passing through Sandy or Jeuno cuz I'm an uber nerd like that :p. When it comes to DnD, I tend to gravitate towards either Torm, Tyr or Kelemvor pending the kind of character I'm playing or Bahamut if my DM's kind enough to let me bust out with a half-dragon (miss you, Drega!)

I have a character in Oblivion whos a total The Nine freak. I did all of the knights quests for the armor. The class I'm using for him is the default paladin class...Yep. Most of the time though, my characters are atheist, because having a religion in an rpg closes so many doors in the game :(

I'm a Christian in real life, but when I'm playing a game, I tend to get a little creative with my gods.

One half the time I worship GaoGaiGar the same way many people would worship Kamina (HAIL TO THE KING OF BRAVES!), and it makes for some good stuff.

The other time I worship someone I call the Creator-Goddess and make as many references as I can before people realize my character's a blatant Haruhiist.

Depends on the setting.
In the Forgotten realms and other classic polytheistic fantasy worlds - of course.
In TES "gods" are just a bunch of jerks. There's no point in worshiping them.

I worship the true deities of all RPGs: The Dice Gods.

OT: Generally no, but if I'm playing a character who I feel would worship a god, then I would.
Edit: Oh I'm an atheist IRL so that probably has a effect on why I usually do that.

Sometimes if the game has the option, but I usually don't since most games I've played either don't have any way to really "Worship" gods (like taking part in rituals or something like that), or if they do they don't seem to have any real reward/consequence for doing/not-doing so.

Certain characters are blatant 40K Space Marine rip-offs.

Certain characters are just along for the ride and don't care/

Other characters are elves and will denounce you and your silly human gods at any given chance.

This is my Dragon Age: Origins character method.

Since im Christain, nope, I say they are real but they are not gods (in game people) they are like people like Shaogorath or aka ME just people that have alot of power, hoepfully you can become pwerful in skyrim as well...
Flawed logic. You're not worshipping a false idol or another submitting to a false God.

Actors portray characters who hold different belief systems and this is even less invasive than acting as you don't even have to say heretic things, just select them from a list of options.

Would you ever write dialogue for a non-Christian character? How about one who worshipped a different God?

Only the RNG gods of Fire Emblem...

If you incur their wrath... you can't win. Period.

The Gods in games have more adequate proof of their existence than the "real life" ones.
Really, because it's easy to hard code a god into a video game than it is to have faith enough in one in Real life. Just because in games you pray at a shrine and get +10 Dex for 1 hour seems to be more than praying at church here instead of out driving around and not knowing that a drunk driver ran a red light at the same time you were at the chuch, and if you weren't at the chuch you would have been driving through the intersection at the same time the drunk driver was. I'm sorry, but I'd like to keep my unknown blessings in real life. (Though +10 Dex for a rogue, great stuff!)
So because I don't worship a needy deity, he is going to strike me down with a car?

Being in one place while one person gets hit with a car isn't proof of God, its proof of science. You can either call it a coincidence, or if you are familiar with large numbers, a statistical improbability.
