AND that religious leader, could, depending on the religious civic, force a governor to create a missionary, and that missionary would be controlled by the religious leader.
Since, religious leaders were mostly councellors for every country in our history, this leader could do the same in the demogame, but he should decide, and him alone, what to do with his missionaries...
Until free religion comes along, then, like in our history, religion will play the smallest rock in the power scale.

Well if the position has no real power, than why create it?
In regards to roleplay, the first religion that someone makes up will be controlled by them. If it sticks (roleplay wise) than they're a religious leader of a lot of people.
Once we start founding religions (if we do) than the government will assign the duty of a state religion leader to an official position, but roleplay wise, I'm sure the original religious leader of whatever made up religion will still be around.

the position wont have real power in the modern age, but it will before it.
ideas:
-missionary movement
-great prophets uses
-push the Minister of Defense to wage war against heathen civilization
(may even lead to an inquisition)
as i sais, these are just ideas... so again, im just adding my 2 golds per turn
Not exactly. A poll trumps an official the way we have it set up, and citizens can act on the results of polls.
Sorry, I wasn't clear in that case.
Second try: All officials with power should be elected.
Somebody ask about appointments to offices which are normally elected, so I don't have to be the one who does it. 
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I agree with the concept, we don't want someone coming out of the blue to get any power, without the citizens expressly delegating it.

But can we use the American system of confirmation by the citizens for the appointees?

So i guess the only way for a Religious leader to be elected is if we trully (in real life) believe in his faith? haha nevermind that! That blows up my idea of a religious consul that'll move the missionaries, prophets and put a pound or 2 in the decision scale...
well, at least it was JUST an idea...

I think you might be misunderstanding the responses.
It would be OK to have a religious leader as an office in the DG. That part is actually a good idea, as long as the people decide to create the office via an initiative, and it's an elected position.
People were commenting on the concept of having someone just pick up the duties and start doing them, and being accepted as that leader without being elected.

yeah i like the idea of a religious member of the ministry, but it doesnt matter if we non-digital citizens dont believe in whatever the minister does. its the fact that all those digital civilians in the game do.. so i say we spread whatever be our religion far and wide so our religious gurus will become powerful and omniscient (i know the last part cant come true lol)
