Do you develop schisms within the individual religions? How do you develop the inevitable aspects of religious bigotry between so many different religions—many of which are if not entirely opposed to each other—are still distinct from each other, and at largely in competition for “souls”, tithes, offerings, donatives, and other forms of economic and social patronage. In the competition for souls, money, power and influence, it sometimes seems quite a stretch to have all of these vastly different religions existing side by side with each other in whatever typical city and seldom experiencing friction, internecine warfare, rioting, pogroms, and outbursts of religious strife and ethnic and religious “cleansing.”Naturally, including such material within the campaign provides numerous opportunities for any cleric characters in the group, but also for any character that is philosophically minded. When one considers how pervasive religion is and has been for most people, it is also easy to see how even characters that are not “religious”, or even a different race or culture entirely, can still be heavily impacted or drawn into such a circumstance by their friends, or people around them that form their own interpretations of such characters—often through the “lens” of their particular religiously-inspired world view.Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
