NationStates Jolt Archive

I think religion is supposed to be more free of form, so to speak. NS is not a complete depict of the world as we know it. Why should religion only be based on Christianity and New Age which are religions taken from real life? Can't we have a bit of individual colouring on the nations? It would make a lot more variations and add a bit of spice to the stew. There are even more religions in the world as we know it than could possibly be mentioned here. I see no reason why NS should have any less.

I want everybody's opinion on this topic! Thanks for reading!

We should use RL religions.

I think you should be able to choose during country creation, and maybe have a system like the nation title (eg Republic of, Rogue State of...etc.) where once you get over 500 million population, you can make your own customized one :)

It wouldn't be too hard to implement, i'm sure. It could be implemented in all nations that already exist as a one-off issue, and it could go in the country description as an extra sentence, "The official religion of Whateverstan is Christianity and the national animal is the whatsit" or, "Whateverstan is predominantly atheist and..."

What does everyone think? :D

First off: No new customizable feilds (such as state religion) will likely (and by likely I mean 99.9% odds) be added in NS.

That aside, I wouldn't mind seeing a couple other religions represented, but the fact of the matter is that most of the players (as well as Mr. Barry, the lord high creator of the universe) live in Western countries, and so Christianity is the most visible religion. That means it is going to get the most attention and be the most likely choice for an issue creator.
Hmm, I wonder if any "Jewish Conspiracy" issues have been submitted yet

There is no set RL religions which we must all follow. There are many nations on NS who have made up their own religions, for RP purposes. It is up to you.
