If I ever had to pick a religion, it would be the Old Gods of the North. I'd carve my own little Heart Tree or something, make a Godswood...

the correct answer is animism. if there were gods they would be everywhere, flowing through all of life. the idea that the great diversity of the universe could be the result of a small handful of gods is just silly. i mean, so is animism, but at least it take reality seriously while imparting spirit wildly.

Islam or Judaism, but Judaism most likely. Either way I'll have to get snipped.

Really? I don't know how both of us managed to post here for so long without that coming up before.

I would assume it's something you get used to if you've been snipped as long as you can remember. It just wouldn't be my idea of a good time going to have it done and knowing that they're going to be cutting off a piece of your body.

My current religion is Judaism. If I had to leave, I'd probably embrace some form of Christianity or Islam. I've recently done some reading on the Hussites, and I rather like their theology.

Whether you change to a religion or not.... doesn't make that religion true or false.

Why would I HAVE to change my religion?

Because Muslims, Ctholics etc seized State Power and enforced the State Church with a Spanish Inquisition.

Therefore, I would join whichever Muslim Ctholic sect that the evil Government enforced.

Almost certainly Satanism. My only actual present disagreement with it is the supernatural side, but the entire ideology is based on a sensible set of principles that I wholly agree with.

Tulija is a Great Power, renowned for its liberal culture and technocratic governance. It is a world leader in several areas (education, social mobility, HDI, GDP, lack of corruption, public services, technology, secularism etc.) and maintains an excellently equipped and trained military. Regularly topping lists of most desirable locations to live in, its freedoms and economic success are largely unparalleled. Internationally, its foreign policy holds substantial sway. If it were real:

Buddhism or Shintoism. They don't seem like the kind that would persecute someone if they don't adhere to their standards.
