Hey a Bahaii brother in Canada. I bet you have celebrated Nowruz!
I am actually not a Zoroastrian by birth, I have studied a lot about it and its philosophy has really touched me. Believe it or not, I am a Shia-Muslim by birth.
However it still hurts, when I hear judements that are based only on a misunderstanding. I know Ivan didn't mean any bad at all. And I am no way offended, I just explain how it really is.
Regarding your religion idea, it is really great but damn hard to implement. Maybe we could be able to do it if the SDk comes out. However until then I can tell you that only think you can modify is the spread factor of religions.
Judaism has the highest spread factor of 110%. However you only get 1 missionary. Christianity has 20% or so. However you can build up to 10 missionaries. Others are between. These numbers make all religions equal in spread factor and yet set those that have no missionaries in the proper way.
We could change this too and set the number for Judaism to 90%. In this case there are under pressure. However we could give them a bit more commerce bonus. They still could hold the religion with inquisitors...just a thought...
BTW, it is now possible to add religions without overwriting old ones. Like Shinto Mod. I am planing to add a South American religion, which wouldn't collide with other religions. If we have the SDk and could implement some of our ideas, there is even room for more religions. Maybe Bahaii would be the next and you could honor Baab.
Cheers
