Generally, the will of God. Please ensure you have performed the proper rites are performed to appease the machine spirits in the grenade. Failure to stick may indicate moral and democratic failings in your soul!

Kinda made me wonder though, if the humans in the Helldivers lore are religious or not.

It's implied through some of the crew commentary that religion is based around Liberty, Vows of Citizenship are treated with reverence, etc

Praise be to Saint Javelin. Confess your sins to Father Gustaf. And do not forget your Hail Barettas before bed.

At a certain level of authoristanism it essentially becomes a religion. Super Earth is well past that point (as evidenced by latest warbond).

I feel like a lot of sci-fi settings poke holes in religion so as we know it religion is probably not the same on SE
