Hello.
The word like Atheist didn't existed until the 18th century(citation needed
), so lets forget about this and think in existing fact who were predominant in the medieval times.
First, everyone used to believe in something, spirit of ancestors, holy items, even blood bathed weapons.
Second, the religious faction ruled the most part of the human ideas in all the times in history, even rulers, no one dared to go against the Priest on any culture, you can challenge any religious people now, because with the technology you have communication, and with communication you have information. In the past, nothing of that existed, you believe what your priest told your parents to tell you.
Third, there were always some one who challenged the believes of everyone, by different ways, because they always believe in something they thought was greater than god self.
Four, which was the special method to deal with these kind of people? you never heard that something from the heavens fell upon them right?,
they were specially, humorously, simply, burned, alive, in front, of everyone else, to see the power of the CHURCH!So in resume:
Some one who doesn't believe in (X) is NOT atheist, is a Blasphemer, and blasphemer should be executed at once! or (for more conservative) banished from the realm.
If some one wanted to rise an even higher power, they need to create a new religion, get followers, protest, kick out ruler, and put in motion a new order, of course, you need religion to control the peasants.
That's all....for now... i say "NO to the GM intervention" "YES to the IC resolution" too bad we rulers cant just burn nobles.....is sad....
Peace!
