Pathfinder has all kinds of things like that for their religions in the 'Faiths of...' series. Holy days, modes of dress, what kinds of temples they use, what regions of the world that religion is prevalent in, etc. I'm sure all those will be collected in a hardback sometime soon. Stuff about Faerun has been even more detailed. For example: There have been entire books on how to create pantheons and detail gods, number and type of followers, etc - 2E's The Complete Priest's Handbook was the largest handbook in the series for that reason. Nobody cares about the 'witchhunts' anymore and it has nothing to do with political correctness. We, the geeks, won that little war a long time ago. (And, since 'political correctness' seeks to address perceived or actual discrimination against disadvantages groups, it would actually be 'politically correct' to include a huge amount of detail on these alternate fantasy non-mainstream religions instead reducing the amount). The reason that you don't get a huge amount of detail about stuff like this is that mostly it's tied to how much emphasis a campaign wants to place on the details. Some people might want to know the text of the prayers they send to Pharasma every night, while some don't care. Most companies simply err on the side of 'details like that are going to be specific for a campaign, so the GM should handle it' -- nothing is more worthless to me than a huge tome of details that don't match the way I want to run the Church of Pelor. That's why we have GM's instead of really big choose-your-own-adventure tomes.</blockquote>
