Don't trust the skull.

I find myself wondering how Earth religions and the associated calendars, dietary laws, etc. would adapt to existence on an alien world (to say nothing of the five generations spent in deep space). Do people still pray toward Mecca, for instance? How do you know when Easter happens? Are space tubers kosher?

There's also the issue of Ramadan - generally, it's not considered to officially start until the first night the moon is observed after the new moon. Whether that has to specifically be Earth's moon that's been observed, or if you can substitute seeing any moon is something you'd need to work out...
