Atheism (godless / no religion characters)
This mod adds a new religion (‘No Religion’, aka atheism), which enables you to play as, and against, godless characters.
Atheists have their own religion logo, religion group, revolution mechanic, and the ability to go on secular crusades (‘secular liberation’).
This mod was originally based on Godless Kings ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=422474485 ), but I believe my version to be better, because:
– GK has a number of unfixed bugs that this does not have. For example, in GK, religion logos are messed up, atheist holy order mercenaries can become locked up / unavailable, there are a number of sentences with the word ‘none’ where the ‘none’ is unclear or does not make sense, etc.
– GK has a ‘reason rally’ mechanic used for converting your provinces, but this is insanely slow, and requires you to click through a ton of popups. Also, it shows an image clearly from the 21st century, which is odd.
What to expect: from this mod:
– Players (and cynical AI characters) can convert to atheism. AIs won’t actually do this unless they are top liege of an independent kingdom, with a chance of defending themselves.
– Atheist characters can convert cynical/loyal courtiers/vassals. They can also go on a purge of religious characters, but don’t have to.
– Atheist states can use a ‘secular liberation’ CB against religious states. It functions like a crusade.
– Compatible with all mods except those which change religion icons (e.g: gfx/interface/religion_icon_strip.dds or similar). That includes the original godless kings mod.
