Gotten tired of the ever same few religion? The always same boring reformation?
This mod is exactly for you. Adding multiple religions and reworking the entire christian reformation.
Revive long dead faiths. Hit the pope where the sun doesn't shine. Embrase the true diversity of faith all around the world. United the jewish tribes, spread the word of islam or drive the colonists out of your ancestoral homeland!

The reformation will always begin with Lutheranism.
Calvinism, Zwinglism, & the Radical Reformation will spawn next.
All other branches will spawn after this.
Catholic & Orthodox will spawn their own Counter-Reformation Centers which help contain the reformation (Up to three centers of Counter-Reform).
The Radical faiths, including Hussites, Hutterites, Mennonites, & Munsterites will spawn with one center only and spread slower.
All other branches of the reformation can have up to two centers of reformation.
