Who would it hurt if we had more choices? They would just add more flavor. I dont see any negatives in adding new religions.
Clutter.

Knowing Firaxis, they'll make everyone Christian, seeing as most of the "Christian" civs in G&K only adopted it at gunpoint (literally).

Should they split Islam?
If they're splitting Christianity into its major factions, they probably should do so for Islam, as well.
Heck, Mormonism is mainstream enough these days that it should probably also get the nod.

They should add "Animism" as a preferred religion for Zulu, the Huns, Polynesia, the Aztecs and the Incans.
IMO Germany should be Protestant since the reformation started there.
Not really... the Native Americans, yes, but otherwise no...
The east Baltic world was transformed by military conquest: first the Livs, Latgallians and Estonians, then the Semigallians, Curonians, Prussians and the Finns underwent defeat, baptism, military occupation and sometimes extermination by groups of Danes, Germans and Swedes.
Aren't the modern community who identify as Assyrian orthodox Christians?
Because Assyrians are Orthodox Christians.
Christianity was brought with a sword to many places in Europe. Crusades were made to regions like Lithuania, Finland etc. Also in Norway and in parts of Germany Christianization was often not that voluntary.[/URL]
Does anyone believe they will add Paganism? Rome would surely be one civ to adopt this.. and Greeks i suppose. I hope they dont just stop with adding sects of Christianity...
Animism really fits better into Pantheons, as it is not a unified concept (no other religion can be said to have either arisen separately or predated human expansion)
Problem is it's very odd to have these civs, developing Christianity, and they usually come up with enough faith points to do so, I don't think it would be a bad idea to add at least one religion for Native America that is their own, I mean "Aztec" religion was similar to Shinto, and Shinto was on there, why dismiss it as simply a pantheon, Taoism and Confucianism are on there, those are odd choices for religionAnimism really fits better into Pantheons, as it is not a unified concept (no other religion can be said to have either arisen separately or predated human expansion)
I'd prefer if civs like that (Native Americans, Polynesians, Zulus *) had Random... so they could be Jewish or Sikh.. or they could beat the Byzantines to Orthodoxy
Also Random (rather than "next in list") should be what is picked when someone takes your preferred. (If the one you random has been selected, Then "next in list" is OK)
*not the Huns, Tengriism works well for them. Essentially the civs where
the Religion is a recent import(ie less than a few hundred years) and
they haven't had a chance to make it their own (ie Zulu and Polynesia, although you can easily argue about that in both cases)
OR
they were "consumed" by another culture as the religion came in, and haven't recovered enough for that religion to be well Identified with them (Aztec, Maya, Inca, Iroquois)
