then why does it have christian, islam, buddhist, hindu specific options but not specific viking or satanic religions? It seems very inconsistent.

Becasue those are the big ones. There is more religions out there then any number of updates could fix lol

Vanilla Enhanced released a Viking icon pack. The real world "religions" in the game are just there for iconography. They don't really have any practical effect on the game, which is sad.

Give it a few weeks and there'll be mods that add in new memes and precepts so that there's true representation of real-world religions. A colony of Jehova's Witnesses that get a debuff if they haven't gone bother their neighbors in the last 15 days, Satanists that get a mood debuff if they haven't redeemed anyone in the last 15 days. Maybe a Shinto religion that lets you build shrines in different types of terrain for different ceremonies. Who knows?

Make religious raiders/evildoers and name their deities after norse gods/satanic beings.
It aren't very in-depth or unique ideologies.

Satanic is derived from Christian. Viking is either Abstract or Incarnate Theism. I'd be more inclined to argue why Christianity and Islam are there but Judaism is not, seeing as how both of the former were derived from the latter.

[Wrong Window]

There's also not Judaism, Baháʼí, Zoroastrianism, or countless others. There is a system in place for you to recreate them.

Viking would be more Embodied Theist. Could even set up the whole pantheon: Odin, Thor, Loki, Sif, Frey, Freyja, Baldur, all the ones I'm forgetting. Have them venerate the wolf (because no ravens in the game). Maybe the horse (because Sleipnir).

paganism or witch craft is actually quiete large as well. And then there are quiete large differences between theravada buddhism and zen buddhism.

then why didnt they add options to recreate christian/islam/hindu/buddhism instead of adding them specifically? its not consistent. IE add monotheism and polytheism instead.

Satanism is derived more from judaism than christianity but okay. Also chrstianity derives more from buddhism and judaism from ugarit.

I think the main reason they did it like this is because otherwise it would be hard to implement buddhist/christian/islam/hindu specific styles. The only reason really. But i would have prefered it to be more consistent. IE a style option instead of a meme option.

Because some religions needs to be pandered to more than others.

If there was any pandering happening the game would have included a Scientology option.

I hear that if you say the word 'Scientology' three times while looking in a mirror. L. Ron Hubbard appears with his favorite hookers and beams you back to his yacht.

Dev pissed off the satanist. They're going to boycott this chaotic attrocity.
