[Discuss] Religions

[Josiah Allen]

What does a single religion yeild?  Stability.  Noone disagrees with each
other.

What do multiple religions yeild?  (medieval bohemia or lithuania for
example)  Income.  A realm that has many religions would draw refugees from
other religions and thus more populace to tax.  Moreover, centralized
religion has a history of squelching certain vices which bring in money.
(gambling, drinking, prostitution)  A realm with many religions would be
busy preaching, not enforcing.  Of course, it would have the occasional
riot.

So I think we should add in the advantages and disadvantages for both of
these situations, it might give another for nations to choose.
