Description:

This mod, previously called Deity Doctrine, expands the theism doctrines to determine the number and nature of the deities for each faith. The theism doctrines now affect your base hostility towards other faiths, even of the same religious family.

New Doctrines and Hostilities:

Theism: Same Religion | Same Religious Family | Other Religious Families
– Transtheist: Astray | Astray | Hostile
– Monotheist: Hostile | Evil | Evil
– Ditheist: Hostile | Hostile | Evil
– Henotheism: Righteous | Astray | Hostile
– Bithiesm: Astray | Hostile | Evil
– Polytheism: Astray | Hostile | Hostile

These new hostility rules replace the religious family based hostility doctrines used by the base game (and just like them can be overrode by certain doctrines). While producing similar results, there is now more variation between religions and faiths in the same religious family. Additionally it also means players creating a new religions can now effectively choose a new hostility doctrine by changing their theism doctrine.

This mod also add the appropriate theism doctrine to all in game religions/faiths:
-Most Abrahamic faiths are monotheistic
-Most Zoroastrian faiths are ditheistic
-Most Hindu faiths are henotheistic
-Most Buddhist, Confucian, Jain, and Taoist faiths are transtheistic
-Pagan faiths represent a wide variety (with every type of deity doctrine), but with polytheistic being the most common

Many religions have custom versions of the deity doctrine flavour text for extra flavour

Judaism has an additional Halakha Authority doctrine for making truly heretical Jewish faiths

Buddhist faiths have a new Monastic Law doctrine (one for each of the three branches plus a ‘heretical’ one)

Compatibility:

– Achievement Compatible
– Not compatible with mods that affect the religious family hostility doctrines
– Not compatible with mods that affect the religion specific hostility doctrines (Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism)
– Might be compatible with mods that add new religions or faiths, but might not apply the correct theism
– Only compatible with new games (this mod will not add the doctrines to an old save)

Other Notes:

– If creating a new Muslim faith, you can only select monotheist; unless you pick the Zandaqa doctrine, thus marking the new faith as heretical to other Muslims.
– If creating a new Jewish faith, you can only select monotheist; unless you pick the new Kofer Ba-Torah doctrine, thus marking the new faith as heretical to other Jews.
– If creating a new Buddhist faith, you can only select transtheist (and possible polytheist); unless you pick the new Hīnayāna doctrine, thus marking the new faith as heretical to other Buddhists.

Warning: If a Mandala government, there is no warning in events that converting to Ditheist or Bitheist faiths will remove your Mandala government
