Muslim theocracy changing government

[Findus]

So in my current third way game Im playing as mzab. According to the wiki and the game files it seems only christians get to secularise though. Is this true? Can I not change from theocracy at any point in the game?

Ive already formed Andalusia since I wanted to have iberia as accepted instead of all the berbers so no forming tunisia. (Turns out you dont get the sweet ideas on the wiki either, they are just placeholders unfortunately shouldve paid more attention to that perhaps.)

There are muslim theocracies in the game though, called Mzab and Ajuuraan...

@OP: As far as I know there's no way to change your theocracy to something else.

I think Jamie is getting confused with CK2, where Muslim temple holdings are treated as feudal rather than theocracies.

The only way I'm aware of to switch out of a non-Christian theocratic government is to get the "aspiration for liberty" or "revolution" disasters and let the revolutionary rebels win. Really though, theocracies haven't been that bad since Devotion was added to the game (the only government-specific resource which can be boosted directly by an idea group) and non-Christian theocracies have the advantage of not needing to worry about the reformation.

And yeah, the ideas shown for Andalusia are those of Granada tag. There is no new tradition or ambitions event. Again though, berber ideas are actually pretty good and the raiding feature can save you from financial despair sometimes.

I believe that you used to get the new ideas and they've gone back and forth on that over the patches. Some of the formable nations still give you the new ideas I think.

Get a colony in Taiwan or thereabouts and raid for tons of ducats!
