Maybe we could make Atheism an optional addon, that way people who don't want it don't have to have it.
It'll be an optional addition anyway (as you pointed out earlier, people who don't like don't have to use it). This would just go to extra trouble and ignore my real point. I don't think Atheism should be left out, but I don't think it should be a religion either. It isn't a religion, not in the terms of Civ 4, but it is an important part of civilisation and should somehow be included.Mr.Earl said:Maybe we could make Atheism an optional addon, that way people who don't want it don't have to have it.
Patricius said:Hi, I would suggest to split up Christianity into Catholicism and Protestanism, and maybe Orthodoxy, although that was basically the same as Catholicism, just ruled by the Bzyntine Emperor rather than the Pope. Along those same lines, maybe have Sunni, and Shi'ite Islam. And I know there are three major sects of Buddhism, 'cept I don't know the names. Maybe this is going beyond what you wanted, but you could have these spontaneously break apart at random times.
"Heresy" is far to broad. A heretic is basically anyone who disagrees with a given religion. This includes members of every other religion. The point of adding Satanism or Luciferism or whatever is not to show people who oppose a given religion, but to show a religion that happens to oppose certain religions.Figaro said:As to which religions to add, rather than Satanism it would be cool if there were something generic like "Heretics" which can't be selected as your state religion (and so is always going to be a Bad Thing) Satanism is specific to Christianity (and Judaism? Not sure) whereas Heresy could be relative to any.
I think almost every single member of this message board would disagree with you. "Atheism" literally means "nontheism" anyway.John Stalin said:Atheism is technically a religion, nontheism is the absence of religion.
Dryhad's right, the prefix A- means "no." For example, Asymetry means "no symatry"Dryhad said:"Atheism" literally means "nontheism" anyway.
