Secularism?

[Shenron]

I've noticed theres been a fair amount of talk recently about fleshing out SMA a little as well as BM culture and I just thought of something simple we can outlaw: the use of the word secularism.

So how about it? Death to secularism.

I believe "paganism and local folklore" would be a more logical target for Dwilight's religions. Personally, I find religion tedious, and I resent it being forced on my character.

Secularism is not atheism.

I find that if a character does not wish to belong to a established religion, just claim you belong to some obscure minor religion.

Asylon has no state religion, buts frowned upon not to follow a religion, if a noble isnt apart of the three major religions he would be considered a pagan of sorts , we can't really control whether someone is religious or not . Wish there was a way but thats up to the coders, perhaps upon choosing a realm a second choice should be one of the realms religions.

[Indirik]

You could force someone to pick a religion. But you can't force them to actively play the religion, or participate.

Also, given that many players have strong feelings about religion, trying to force them to play in a religion in game may turn them off toward the game overall.

Fine or ban those who do not have a religion.

Refuse to grant lordships to those without a religion.

Don't vote for those without a religion.

Why stop there? Let's burn them at the stake while we're at it.

I would if I could ever find the button for that.

Fine with me.  Better that they don't play than that they ignore something that should be a major part of the game.

Religion was a huge part of the middle ages.  If you're not comfortable with religion, don't play a RP game in a middle ages setting.

We should make that a feature request.

Yes, because less players is exactly what we need right now...

Or play on an island that isn't Dwilight.
