Any ideas what Kurt might choose to enshrine in his new mutant religion?
I can see veneration for Cerebro, the Phoenix Force, and living mutant deities like Apocalypse, The Five, and Storm.

I haven’t even begun to process The Last Temptation of Kurt Wagner (or Issue 7 of X-Men as it’s otherwise known).
Krakoa is tempting him with that cathedral, you know it is. Up to and including the framing of the scene on his perch which looked awfully like Christ being tempted by the devil.
Krakoa is Up To Something.
It looks as though it’s granting people’s wishes, Scott’s wish for a stable family, Black Tom’s wish for Juggernaut, Doug’s wish to have Warlock back? Kurt’s wish? Does he have the sort of ego which wishes to have a cathedral? To be at the centre of worship? He’s built a chapel before, but he’s never shown much desire to be powerful or important.
What happens when peoples wishes clash? What if Logan’s wish is to set up home with Laura, Gabby and Daken, rather than on the moon, what does Krakoa do then?
Kurt has a perch. It’s high up, keep turning left (sinister). This amuses me.
Kurt can access the tower, Logan can’t. That will make Logan sulk. This amuses me. Who else can access the tower?
Never underestimate him, Scott, or his enquiring mind.
Upcoming predictions for Mutant Religion.
It will tell us something about how Mr Hickman is going to play this by how it goes.
It Kurt goes all Cerebus The Aardvark on us and declares himself pope and makes it all about him, then this is all a fever dream or an illusion and the X-Men are trapped in Krakoa as per ANAD.
If he gets a functional, new age, happy clappy, everyone is welcome religion off the ground, he will be usurped by Exodus and a bunch of zealots. Or they will set up a rival, blood and thunder religion. Then this is reality, a twisted reality but nonetheless real.
The tower will fall. The tower always falls.
It will break his heart when it does all go to hell.

I want to see all mutants undergoing to the Crucible given three opportunities to affirm their choice and resolve to participate. A reversal of the Three Denials of Peter.
Kurt may have to reveal how he was the victim of a witches coven and how his big adoptive sister didn't mind doing the deed with him before any Catholic clergy could do anything filthy with him. He'll have a biopic "When No One Would Listen To A Demon" Just kidding. Oye, that was retconned anyway. Uhh… if he wants to decide that clergy can marry like some faiths allow that's fine I guess. If pushing out babies doesn't seem too David Koresh. Another joke. I realize that was more in response to Mystiques teasing.
I rather their be no Nightcrawler turning out like anything similar to the Priest in The Draco. Who wants an Austen redux with a sweet young girl? The commentary on sexual abuse in Christianity was perhaps the only good thing about that story and so was Kurt demanding to confront the sexual abuse of children.

It makes sense for the religion to be more pagan in nature considering Krakoa, but "fire and brimstone" reflects Arakko so it could have a place in his worship. Speaking of...
What if the Immortals are worshipped as a pantheon (along with The Five?). Poccy and Selene are not only eternal, but currently also play crucial roles in sustaining mutant life on Krakoa, so it makes sense to worship them as gods and give them their own "temples" in the regions they stay to appease them.And for someone (Exodus/Selene/Apocalypse/all of the above) to trample him and it into the mud at the end.
Also, The Five/Crucible and the Phoenix Force play into the concept of reincarnation (and unknowing to Kurt, Moira too), so can see that be incorporated as well.
Any legit religion for mutants should focus its worship on The Phoenix Force.

You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.
"You're not the better one, Peter. You're just older."
