Religion in Rise of Nations & Why It Should Be Included
Author: Stilgar
Here is my small article on Why should there be religion.
I know that this is very controversial and some people think that this is a bad idea, but we cannot ignore one of the fundamental influencer of civilization, which is RELIGION.
Religion plays an important part in our daily lives and shapes futures of humanity too.
I want to make this clear first. I am not a religious person, so do not call me fundamentalist. I am just trying tonvey my point.
As you all know religion is an important part of human civilization, whether it be paganism, polytheism or monotheism.People's lives are shaped by it. Most wars can be contributed to religion.Even now, the most major wars are fought in the name of religion.Take Middle East or Kashmir for an example.You just can't avoid it.
Religions also shape societies. Some religions are stricit while some or not. So people are brought up is such environment where their decisions could be based on their religion.
Religion is like a strategy resource or even more important.In the past states with same religion allied themselves together to fight an another enemy, even if both states are not friendly.They have just allied just because they have something in common.
Relgious wars are also a big issue. Like crusades that occured in middle east.
Religion is also a potent weapon.Many nations of the same religion do not seem to be hostile together but both try to help each other in time of aid or wars.
Religion is in our blood and our life and we breath it every day, we just can't avoid it just because it is going to bring controversies or undesired attention.It is time that we face it and include religion in games, not just rise of nation.But we should include in such a way that it would not insult or defame others.
