Ah, you're right. At least it would be all right without referencing Muhammad. As well, I suppose Catholic ('Universal') can also be fine, without referencing to Jesus.


If thats the case, Christianity can keep its name because it gets its name from the Greek word Khristós (or Christos), meaning "the anointed one" and not from the real name of Jezus.

Nice work, really like the emblem! If you don't mind, I'll open up a charter of it in Gaduridos?

Sure there is.. Wouter! :D

Although, on your point, god can be used as a noun for a deity (the God, or the seven gods of Thunder or what-not) so it should be fair-game, I'd think.

If there were a religion called "Luminatorism" revolving about such key concepts as the ancient Beteynian teacher Joshua Luminatorius, who is believed to be the son of God and who died to absolve the world from its sins, it wouldn't be a problem - and it wouldn't take anything away from RP.


Spot on here - you don't have to be that creative, just change a few names and voila!

Although, that doesn't take away from original religions in Terra, like Malivia (Gerajan), Barmenia (Felinism), Indrala (Heaven Worship) and Tukarali (Kanzo) to name a few :) nice work guys.

I'm trying some in Gaduridos too, so if anyone is interested in helping, expanding or even sharing ideas (note how I have used some of the aforementioned believes in my nation), you are all welcome! :D

Yeah sure, go ahead. I think the emblem is supposed to be related to the Sufism stream in Islam, but im not sure about it. I found it on google and i liked it.

Lol, maybe we should make a religion based around Wouter? Yes thats true, as long as you dont use god as the name for a deity it should be good.

:lol:

You know, this Church of Wouter isn't really that bad of an idea, it's actually possible.

So who's going to write the wiki page about it?

There was an announcement banning Christianity?
