[Discuss] Another Take on Religion

Gee, I have a message here on draft I forgot to send! I'll post a part
of it that is still valid for people to think about.

The option of not choosing a religion would be paganism, as it is
shown today on BM (not as it is IRL), as a free set of beliefs that
people follow when they don't follow a specific religion. It is what
every noble without a religion is today.

True and interesting. Maybe if we want religion to have more
significance, the beliefs of peasantry and nobles could be more
influential to each other. I do think that nobles beliefs would
usually increase the beliefs of the peasants in the area, in the
middle ages. Not only the Lord's beliefs.

Thus improving intercontinental religions, which I find a great idea.
You can start in another continent and build a temple there. I'd like
to see this even that not through family religion mechanics.
