The difficulty there is that already, realms don't see an upside from 
having more than one religion in their borders.  The penalty for a lord 
being of a different faith than the peasantry is already implemented, 
and so far as I know the benefits a religion can bring to a realm all 
require a large fraction of peasantry converted.

The system as it currently stands is almost designed to lead to 
single-religion states.  The converse, single-state religions, is just 
what happens when you have a number of small religions.

Single-religion states are "historical," at least insofar as Europe 
circa the Reformation, but I dont think that's something we accurately 
want represented in Battlemaster.
