'''Religion''' determines which deities and holy figures a [[character]] or the population of a [[county]] believes in. The most basic level is the [[faith]], whose [[doctrine]]s and [[tenet]]s determine its effects and laws. Each faith is categorized under a broader religion, which in turn falls under one of three religious families.
== Religious family ==
Each faith is part of a religious family, which determines how faith hostility is calculated. Faiths that have the {{iconify|Ecumenism}}, {{iconify|Sunni}}, {{iconify|Shia}} or {{iconify|Muhakkima}} doctrine consider other faiths with the same doctrine astray. There are also several tenets that modify faith hostility.

* Zoroastrianism is the only Eastern religion to treat different faiths within the religion as hostile. Other Eastern Religions are still treated as astray.
=== Faith hostility ===
Each faith has a negative view of every other faith; how negative the effects are depends on the religious family. Faiths with the {{iconify|Pluralist}} doctrine have these penalties halved, while the {{iconify|Fundamentalist}} doctrine doubles the penalties.

== Faith organization ==
Faith organization describes how organized and coherent each faith is. Faiths can be divided into organized and unreformed, each having advantages but also some drawbacks. Most Pagan faiths start unreformed, while all Abrahamic and Eastern faiths start organized.

== Virtues and sins ==
Virtues and sins are [[traits]] which a religion or faith considers virtuous or sinful. Some tenets will add great virtues or great sins, which have a double effect.

|}
== Religions ==
Religions have two main effects. First, each religion has a baseline set of sins and virtues. Second, the religion determines which men-at-arms its holy orders will favor. A faith's tenets can add traits considered sins and virtues, replacing some of the original ones if they happen to conflict.
