Yes.
Back when Daishi was the official religion of Hetland, only Hetland, and had no representation outside of Hetland.
Then Hetland died, and the only way Daishi could survive was by spreading out and joining other realms before the Daimons finished burning down all of our temples.
From that day on, Daishi had to change or it would not be welcomed in other lands. That is when it became the non-political religion devoted to uniting humanity against the destroyers.
Adapt or die. I chose adapt.
