:. Population Desired Religion

Wondering what the message beside Nation Religion that says “Your people are unhappy with this national religion”? I put this here because I simply do not like your national religion… just kidding. Actually it’s all randomly generated.

When you first create your nation and select your national religion a random religion will be selected for your people’s “desired religion.” If your national religion is not the same as your people’s desired religion then your nation’s population happiness will be negatively affected. How do you know what your people’s desired religion is? The only way to tell is by changing your national religion until you see the message “Your people are pleased with this national religion.” Of course you can only change your national religion once every 3 days. I thought this would be a neat feature to add to the game because it requires nations to experiment with different religions until you find the one that makes your population happy.

The 15 available religions to choose from are as follows:

• None - Your nation does not have an official national religion.
• Mixed - Your nation does not have a defined national religion, but instead a mixed amount of religions throughout your nation.
• Baha'i Faith - The Bahá'í Faith is an emerging global religion founded by Bahá'u'lláh, a nineteenth-century Iranian exile. Bahá'í theology speaks of three interlocking unities: the oneness of God (monotheism); the oneness of his prophets or messengers; and the oneness of humanity (equality, world unity, globalism).
• Buddhism - The religion based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as Buddha. He refuted the idea of man's having an immortal soul and did not preach of any Supreme Deity.
• Christianity - A monotheistic system of beliefs and practices based on the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus as embodied in the New Testament and emphasizing the role of Jesus as savior.
• Confucianism - A philosophy of life developed by Confucius. It stressed the proper relationships in society, such as father/son and subject/ruler.
• Hinduism - The ancient gods (especially the triad of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) are commonly interpreted as representations of the various aspects of the divine (Brahman). Human beings progress to the ultimate realization of their oneness with Brahman (often called Nirvana) through Reincarnation according to the law of Karma.
• Islam - The name of the religion that was initiated by Muhammad early in the 7th century and which means surrender to Allah.
• Jainism - A religion founded by Nataputta, who was a royal clan of the Nata tribe in ancient India at the time of Shakyamuni. Its basic doctrine is non-materialistic atheism.
• Judaism - A religion developed among the ancient Hebrews and characterized by belief in one transcendent God who has revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and the Hebrew prophets and by a religious life in accordance with Scriptures and rabbinic traditions.
• Norse - Nordic religion is a termed used to abbreviate the religion preferably amongst the Germanic tribes living in Nordic countries under pre-Christian period that are supported by archaeology findings and early written materials.
• Shinto - Japan's indigenous religion, based on the premise that gods inhabit all natural things, both animate and inanimate.
• Sikhism - The doctrines of a monotheistic religion founded in northern India in the 16th century by Guru Nanak and combining elements of Hinduism and Islam.
• Taoism - There is no personal god, the closest thing being the Tao, which is a supreme force which underlies change through the passage of time. One is to become free of personal desires, and become attuned to the flow of change.
• Voodoo - Derived from the ancestor worship and polytheism of primitive West Africa that emphasizes sorcery, spells and conjuring spirits of the dead.

I need some help. <M>

The only options that I haven't tried that may work are:

None
Budhism
Confucianism
Hinduism
Shinto
Toaism

Hinduism worships the supreme deity Brahman so i wouldn't go with that.

Any advice among the following, then?

None
Budhism
Confucianism
Shinto
Toaism

i'll check in the wikipedia.

one of these i think:
Buddhism
Confucianism
Taoism
(Not none because i have none and got a different message and not shinto because they worship the Kami or sacred spirits)Shintoism

go with confucianism first.

Thanks.

Edit: Nope. I guess it's Budhism. <<%

it could be taoism tho, go with buddhism first, then try taoism if that doesn't wirk.

Whats the religion with Karma again? :unsure:

hinduism and buddhism both believe in karma

It's not Taoism, my friend got that, and it was a different message.

not buddhism... :blink:

Try Jainism

Jainism eh?

Apparently my citizens want an eastern religion.
They're not having it.

Argh! My citizens want not a single god but instead believe in oneness and freedom from personal desires.

I've tried

Buddhism
Hinduism
Jainism
Confusianism
Baha'i Faith
Mixed

I can't figure it out.

taoism.

Do you think "They cannot make up their minds when it comes to religion." would be none or mixed.

Have you tried, y'know, reading the descriptions of the various religions? It works pretty well. Taoism is what you want.

Apparentally I need a "modern middle eastern religion that focuses on monotheism.". What would that be? (and I've tried Islam.) Man, i'm an idiot.

Bahai would be my (educated) guess B)
