So there will be a religious war between Stevid and Morrdh's churches? Clearly going atheism ICly the best way to go.

Not between the churches, Haishan. Between Morrdh's government, Morridane Catholics, and whatever Stevid does.

It is ironic because Nihon is influenced by Protestantism (which gotten really well in it thanks to missionaries, then struggle against Catholic colonial powers).

As a side note, having done the math, I should have about 32,000 MCA-1s, aka not!M-51 Super Shermans, sold off to civilians between 1984 and 2016. In case anybody wants their civvies to have foreign tanks.

Then we have a problem.

The Mokan Catholic Minority(and Stevid Catholic resettled refugees) will probably support their church, the Mokan Orthopraxis Church will have no official stance.

Stevid, how about adding this to the adaptes astrates canon? http://imgur.com/gallery/Oso5x

Peace invasion. Called it!

Palmyrion was largely Catholic during pre-Great Revolution years, until the commies came, forcefully made everyone atheist. Then the commies were driven out, and Protestantism, brought mainly by foreign capitalist powers who helped us out, became the dominant religion. Seventh-Day Adventist is the largest Protestant (and Christian) sect in Palmyrion.

Meanwhile Muslims in Palmyrion are largely concentrated on the island-province of Sultan Osmalik. The phenotype of those from Sultan Osmalik (Middle Eastern racial phenotype) are quite different from the phenotype of Palmyrian mainlanders (Marshite racial phenotype), and they speak mainly Arabic, and follow the Sharia law (which is independent of Palmyrian national law, the province being an autonomous province a la Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao).

GD Wanderjar is mostly protestant (Dutch Reformed). Greater Prussian Wanderjar/the Monarchy is Catholic.

Lamoni has a mix of a lot of different types of religions (as befits a state begun by refugees), but the two major Christian branches in the country are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondenominational_Christianity

So I guess i'm the odd man out.

Two things: One, I need to message the AA to bring his nation back to life... Again. Two, I thought Jasmine was the best - but women marines? Heresy.

On another note Stevid's standings, ecumenically speaking, does favour Romab Catholicism. But Christianity as a whole is welcomed. There are radical elements that are disliked but allowed to continue practice within the Empire. My point is Stevid would fight against the persecution of any Christian sect. The fact it is Catholics and descreated churches in Morrdh just adds more incentive for me to step in.

Lam is spot on here. To even begin separate Church from State in Stevid is a foolish task. While not quite there yet, the two are almost one in the same.

They aren't space marines but the Faith Militant of of the Ecclesiarchy. Marines are a whole different story.

Still, they wear something similar to spess mah-reens.

40k inspires me on NS a great deal. The inquisition and Templars are just a product of this. But there are somethings I just can't replicate. The Valkyrie drop ships are one. Best I could come up with is a Harrier like aircraft but the internal engine mechanics for such a design don't really allow for troop carry abilities. Helicopters win.

You know, there is a study about supersonic-capable troop transport that can hover. It looks like a stretched V-22 however. Protip, it doesn't swivel its wings but used an entirely different way to hover.

Well... when do we burn Xenos?

There are multiple of them on NS.

There are many different religions in the Commonwealth, protestants are probably the biggest group but as a whole the Commonwealth leans heavily towards being very secular.

However there is alot of bad blood between the Morridanes and the Catholic Church stemming from Church institutions (like the Magdalene asylums) in the days when Morrdh was a Stevidian penal colony. The Church went from effectively playing a large role in the state (similar to Ireland) to being relegated to the sidelines over the past century or so.

In Deamonopolis, Islam of the Sufi variety is by far the largest religion and there's a fairly significant Christian minority (~30%) Roman Catholics.

Christians, and Muslims and Jews as well, make up a very very small percentage of the Sumerian population, and are mostly immigrants. The bulk of the population are polytheistic pagans, and the state supported "church" is that very national polytheism. The number of non-Sumerian pagans has dwindled over the last thousand years after successive civil wars, with most non-Sumerian populations either being killed off or converting. Since the last civil war ended before 1930 (Not primarily a religious war either) the non-Sumerian pagan population has remained at or around 10% of the population, outnumbering the 2-3% that constitutes all Abrahamic religions in Sumer combined.

Lamoni, You need some Mokan Orthopraxis Church members in your country

Morrdh, mind if I say a large percent of whites in Tatom are Catholics who moved there? Not sure when in your history a migration might have happened, but northern Mokastana is where Catholics hang out

Well Nihonese Christianity has this specific that the churches (since churches operate in their area and are, in general, independent from each other) put extremely big emphasis on "moral authorities (Shikken") and practical living according to the faith. This causes that plenty of Kogyokist Christians who aren't religious at all or simply don't care about the supernatural stuff, see the bible as "greatest moral tale of all". Their reasoning is simple - "if God didn't exist, he should have been invented". That is why Christianity in Nihon has so big influence upon society. Majority of Nihonese still believe in supernatural though. It is also not like churches commend this kind of approach, but faith in Nihon is seen mostly as personal affair. It is supplemented by ethical codes - Nihonese Bushido being most known one - that are in general based on it and which set social norms.

Still, most of churches tend to interpret Bible literally - although it can't be said that Kogyokist churches agree on anything. They are separate from each other, working only on local basis, and even though theological schools exist, two churches being near each other may have totally different ideas over such basic doctrines as salvation or trinity.

Mokastana don't see why not, thinking of swapping Ramarck round with Morrdun as to me it makes more sense having the capital city on my west coast rather than my eastern one.

Thinking of having some Children of Atom style cult arise in Mordent.
