While I use norse mythology as the primary religion in my campaign I think there are a number of religions that don't really fit "a religion" but could also have examples animistic, shamanistic, ancestor worship.

If that's not specific enough I'd nominate Bhudism and Confucism.

They do kind of. Buddhism has enough saints/post-death beings it can work. Confucisum is philosophical examination of how rulership and the universe works in context of traditional Chinese taoist belief. It also has enough non-mortal beings/beliefs that it could work well.

As or my votes: Aztec, Japanese and Polynesian.

I hope someone isn't preparing for an "But other people got to talk about religion on ENWorld, why can't I?" argument with the moderators. I'd strongly advise against that.

Back in 2007, I wrote a whole new pantheon for D&D, based on real-world Maori folklore and religion. Other people chimed in to help, including people from New Zealand. That's right, I once collaborated with others online to create a pantheon for D&D, right here on ENWorld. No arguments erupted. No warnings were issued. Nobody was kicked out. The thread was never locked.

I won't be commenting in the upcoming meta thread, as exciting as it sounds. But consider that maybe this "issue" has less to do with the word "religion," and more to do with disrupting discussion and antagonizing others?
