This special boon/bane/ability/something would be as follows:

* Only available to non-religious backgrounds.
* Would prevent sacrificing and praying at race shrine.

* Increase intelligence and wisdom by some good amount. Perhaps more
intelligence, or not wisdom at all.

Yes, it's just a silly random idea with no refinements.

They also get a decrease in charisma and can no longer party with any of those
idiot religious types.

that would be the heretic bane, no parting with religious types. im atheist
but alot of my friends belive in god... u can have one and the other in this
case.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theyre not.

So do you say being religious you lack intelligence? Personally I wouldn't
like to see that kind of "realism" in this game.
Idea itself is good, but I wouldn't like to see Batmud encouraging people to
leave their religions.
Some tuning to idea and it would be really cool.
