More Diverse Devout

Much delayed update that confirms 1.6 compatibility and makes the following changes:
- better setup for minority faiths IG leader that uses a more appropriate culture (ie. no more white englishmen in charge of the hindu priesthood in the EIC)
- moved demographic setup from history/pops to scripted setup in history/global, which should make compatibility easier moving forward

Could you please make it compatible with Change Culture and Religion? I'm really interested in your return-to-the-previous-state-religion mechanic. It's weird to see that a country that enacts state atheism cannot undo atheism as their state religion upon restoring previous church and state law. Current day Russia may be a good example against the vanilla mechanic. Thank you.

A good point. I think I could likely fix this, but I would need to manually create the leader for the minority devout IG instead of letting the game do it for me.

To be fair, the reason Sri Lankan Buddhism even HAS its scriptures fully intact is because an Englishman translated them using fully intact London copies versus the local incomplete works... and in the process, was so moved that he converted to Buddhism himself.

This man remains a national hero in Sri Lanka, and it seems that some Sri Lankans believe that he achieved Enlightenment.

Cool mod, one thing that bothers me is only accepted/primary cultures being able to be the leaders of Interest Groups. I don't know if this is something that can even be changed. But seeing some random english guy being the leader of the "Hindu Priesthood" in EIC really breaks the immersion for me.

I would love to see compatibility with the Victorian Flavor Mod. It adds a lot of new religions, although the generic pagans and most Protestants could all be condensed.

1.5 update is live. Most of the work in this mod is done with effects on game start, so it should be save game compatible.

I hope that this Mod may one day be given support for the big Flavor Expanded Mod. It adds a lot of religions, although some of them (the division of the pagans based on each continent) could just all use the same one.

A few updates are in the works. First, I need to get up to date with 1.5 - I'm mostly there but the inclusion of corporatism in the base game caught me by surprise.
Secondly, I want to start adding in some narrative content for different religions, as most underwent some serious changes over the games timeframe. Catholicism is up first: I have some journal entries and things mapped out for both the first Vatican council and the rise of catholic social teaching / rerum novarum that I want to get to.

I haven't checked compatibility with the more faiths mod. They likely won't break each other, but I think they'll probably have some conflicts in initial setup values and things that may cause some odd behaviors.

is this compatible with the more faiths mod and is there an update being planned?
