Why does the leader have to be animist?
There is only one guy and he is not animist. Why can't he be the leader? Can I only choose a leader from the religion I want if the start is a 'New Arrivals'? Why? So f--ing annoying.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking about. Only a member of your ideology can lead your ideology. How it would it make sense for the leader of the animists to not be an animist.

Yeah, that'd be like... I dunno, having a Buddhist for a pope? Or an Amish in charge of Scientology.

The only member of my nation is part of an abstract teologist creed. I can only choose an animist for a leader. It is as I depicted.

If you pick any normal game scenario your starting colonists are going to believe in your ideology. If your starting colonist believes in a different ideology then something went wrong (probably a mod) or you had a few too many crisis of belief mental breaks and have screwed yourself. Eventually if you play long enough you may find recruits from neutral factions that believe in your ideology, you can use them to start your ideology back up.

I restarted and it worked fine. Thing is that I spend over an hour going over every ideology because I can't load for the npc factions. When ♥♥♥♥ happens I spend over 3 hours to go over everything again. It's just f--ing annoying.

Just to be sure:

Your colonies ideology will be the one you started out with, and this ideology will be used for the leader \ religious guide. If for some reason you later on have more pawns of a different religion (Either because you recruited other religions, your pawns were converted or died and so on) the game will eventually fire an event that changes your colonies primary ideology to the new one.

The change is not "Instant" though, so for a while your now minority (Or extinct) ideology will be considered the main one.
