I rarely buy it, as it's expensive and hard to acquire.
But, it does reduce the effects of Iconoclasm and Heresy, and player who holds Theology is not affected by Monotheism (so they can't convert your territory!)

Great story, Chaucer.

It's been attempted and, like every other religious thread, has turned into Atheist vs. Theist (usually Christian), and the stereotypes begin to fly. I expect a very similar failure for this one :headbang:

Ah, but is it a theology?

Answer: yes.

the·ol·o·gy (thē-ŏl'ə-jē)
n., pl. -gies.

1. The study of the nature of God and religious truth; rational inquiry into religious questions.
2. A system or school of opinions concerning God and religious questions: Protestant theology; Jewish theology.
3. A course of specialized religious study usually at a college or seminary.

Just saw the edit … I like the break down of agnostic … a lot of people almost assume a neutral or atheistic tint on it rather then the sometimes deistic or theistic leanings
