There is one thing I'd like to say before starting this list. That is, Zap, Why is Sikhism not in RoM? It's the fifth largest religion in the world! Speaking objectively, were it not for Christianity and Islam, Judaism would by no means be considered an important religion, yet it is included and Sikhism is just completely ignored. Some were even talking about including Shinto and we haven't even yet added in a religion as important as Sikhism? After reading so much about it while studying hindu martial arts, I just can't understand why it would not be included or even considered for inclusion until now.
Can we please add in Sikhism by the time vers 3.0 comes out?
Kemetism (Amun-Ra) - “House of Life” could replace Egyptian Monastery. These are where temple records and sacred writings were kept. This religion should be either Egyptianism or Kemetism as the religion of Amun-Ra did not come about until the foundation of the New Kingdom in the 16th century BC.
