Religion: Zoroastrianism (Revamp)
Several changes here:
-
[ ] Make Manichean Schismatic rather than Heretical
-
[ ] Add Mandaean as a Manichean heresy
(We are leaving Yazidi in the Muslim group in this version of the mod. It is Zoroastrian influenced but I wouldn't call it full-zoroastrian feel free to discuss in the comments)
-
[ ] Add Zurvanist as a Zoroastrian Heresy
-
[ ] Ensure all religions have all the features from the original mod. Do not copy/paste. Rewrite from scratch using current modding tools available.
I actually don't agree on having Yazidis be part of Islam. Sure, they likely incorporated many Sufi beliefs/practices, but mostly those that are borderline non-Islamic. I don't see why any religion that does not even share belief in Muhammad would be considered part of Islam. It just makes no sense. Try including a religion in Christian that, well, lacks any interest in Christ. Zoroastrianism might not fit them perfect either, but then we might need to move them elsewhere.
Hmm yeah they seem to be ever so barely Abrahamic with a creation myth that's closer to Zoroastrianism. It might be worth moving them to pagan_group as a pre-reformed or making them their own religion group. Keeping them as a Muslim religion, let alone a Sunni heresy, seems rather insulting to their unique history and traditions
