Temple specific noble alignment

Indeed... essentially every major religion has sects, divisions, etc.

Protestantism has hundreds, Islam is divided into two major camps and many smaller ones, Catholicism has geographical subsets and so does Orthodoxy, Buddihism and Hinduism both have their obvious regional divisions, etc.

In no way would the feature Chenier suggested be some kind of "Catholic" game feature for religions.

Islam is a poor example, as is Protestantism. Those aren't simply geographical differences, those are completely different churches. They're the same religion, but they don't follow the same religious hierarchy.

A separate sect doesn't have to be geographically difference, so I'm not seeing your point. And technically they do, seeing as they see the religious hierarchy starting with god.

That's true, but not the point. The point was that such a feature provides the opportunity for people within a religion to develop sectarianism. Whether they choose to make it purely geographically based, theologically based, or hierarchy based would still be totally up to them.

That's the only thing they share. Ask a 13th century catholic what he thinks of a Cathar, and ask him if they're the same religion.
