Can you update this mod?

Maybe you could change the Georgian ones name? It literally means "to die" which is somewhat funny, the pre-Christian Georgian faith had no name whatsoever so you can name it as pretty much everything

what about rodnovery?

Thanks @grant for such an elaboration to my comment. I couldn't help to look more into some of your mentioned religions that I could find results on. I came to find that - indeed, you are right. Several of these pagan beliefs you have named after grand deities just like you said. It also shines right through your reply that you do hold some unseemingly reliable facts around the subject. It pleases me surprisingly much. :D
I have to thank you aswell for the mod, it is really nice. Love the broader variety it adds to the games cultural aspect. Also, you have my thanks - for this made me actually check this up as I am a huge history enthusiast! :) Always a pleasure to learn. Hit me up if you get stuck or need some inspiration in future mods, I believe I could be of help. ;)

@Apoc Fyerah most polytheistic and historic religions have already been covered with Tomatekh's Historical Religions, which includes norse mythology. I wasn't able to find actual names for most of these belief systems (the ones where I did find names were from neo-pagan groups), so they're substituted by names for supreme deities, like Zalmoxis, or a word for faith or priest in the languages of the followers. Lupw-kâ, for instance, means 'god-caller' in a local Nuristani dialect.

re: Irminism, I gave the saxons that since the Irminsul was a thing they worshipped, but I could always give it another name, I was just looking for a catch-all term for non-Norse german mythology

Don't mean to spread bad wibes, but... how is it not one religion/mythology here that people actually know about. For example, norse mythology - as in vikings. When they invaded england in 865 with their largest massed army recorded in history, the force was litterarly named "The Great Heathen Army". Not to mention how Irminism was no more than a tiny movement in south germany. One-third of these doesn't even have a hit on the internet, another one-third only appears on the internet as mentioned in a mod on the steam workshop. One of these comes up as a mythological dragon-snake-thing, while another only appears as an eagle with a womans head.

Would love if the creator of this mod could send me a link to where he got the intel for all this.
My intention is not to be a douchebag, I just find this very interesting and a little strange.
