{{quote|[[Minovsky Physics|Tiberium]] is considered by Nod to be the greatest catalyst for human ascension and evolution, and thus a highly sacred substance. This has, in turn, resulted in Nod's continuous hardening and opposition to our attempts to eradicate Tiberium; GDI's attempts to save the Earth from the ravages of the alien crystal are considered "blasphemy" by Nod. The cult's fixation on Tiberium is extreme, and there have been numerous recorded instances where Nod personnel have taken "grafted" tattoos of processed Tiberium into their skin, or chemical infusions of Tiberium-based drugs to boost their physical abilities.}}
{{quote|Of particular concern for our analysts is the fact that Nod's religion is fundamentally compatible with many other religions. The basic belief in helping humanity ascend beyond its limits - "Peace Through Power" - hits a humanitarian chord that is part and parcel of most other major religions. Of particular concern is how easily Nod's beliefs can coincide with those of religions such as Confucianism, Buddhism, Tao, and Shinto, and how it can connect with Christian and Muslim imagery of heaven and the Rapture. A vast portion of Nod troops are Islamic, Eastern Orthodox, or of Far Eastern religions. Of additional concern are those Nod soldiers who have taken on a suicidal bent; these fanatical Nod soldiers generally do not believe in any sort of divine reward waiting for them after death. Rather, they are willing to commit suicide as part of the greater cause of human ascension; this makes them even more dangerous, as they act not out of selfish motives, but selfless ones, to help their fellow humans . . .|'''In-Ops Report: Brotherhood of Nod Belief System and Its Challenges''', ''[[
