An idea, I have the knowledge to make such a mod but I am likely not to start with if this hasnt enough feedback so here it goes: All known Esotoric/Pagan religions. It should add or otherwise replace some religions. I came to this idea because it was interesting. (It will keep however Hinduism and Judaism, these are esotoric enough IMO, however, if there is huge opposotion to this, I will search for alternatives or will do it with less).

-Judaïsm - Its an (partially) esotoric religion, especially kabbalah (A Jewish code of laws which is nowadays very impopulair under Jews) mentions esotoric means in their stories
Special unit: Meccabee

-Asatru - One of the dominant viking religons (Symbol will be a Viking helmet)
Requires: Bronze Working
Special unit: Beserker

-Egyptian Polytheïsm - Doesnt require explanation (Ra symbol)
Requires: Polytheïsm
Special unit: <I Dunno>

-Satanism (Inverted 5 point star)
Requires: Mass Media
Special unit: <I Dunno>

-Hinduïsm
Requires: Meditation
Special Unit: Mahout (An upgraded version of a normal Elephant)

-Nazi-Occultism (Typical Christian Cross with a Swastika in the middle)
Requires Fascism
Special unit: Germanische SS command (A soldier with Germanic background sended by a Nazi-Governed country that works smiliar like an Marine and can delete other religions in friendly cities - this action will consume him)
 
Satanism with Mass Media I like that, its going to have a hard time spreading that late in the game, probably wont be of much use unless your in Free Religion.

Also I think the Anka would be the prefered symbol for Egyptian religion.
 
That would be an ankh for egyptians.

For asatru, the symbol should be a raven or a 'Thor's hammer.

Why not just call Judaism Kabalah?

Special unit for egyptian could be maybe a khopesh warrior or something. Or simply a priest. If you don't want to stick to reality, you could use mummies or animal-headed soldiers summoned from the neatherworlds.

Satanism could have a satanist unit, like some sort of finatic.

Because not all Jews practice Kabalah, but I took Kabalah as proof that Juda&#239;sm contains esotoric practices.

I have an idea for Satanism, a Heavy metal muscician like Marilyn Manson, by giving a great gig, he has 100% chance of adding Satanism, that should work. They will all have unique names representing Satanic Musciscians, such as Marilyn Manson, Olystein Aarseth, Dead, Hellchrist XUL.

I am starting to doubt If should include Nazi-Occultism, its basicly a mix of Christianity, Asatru and Nazi-Fanatism but if most people find it interesting, I will keep it.
