(Thread on Europa Universalis IV forum "Do any religious people play this game?")
I m preety religious miself(orthodox) and yes sometimes I feel offended,but not by the game,rather by the paradox forum community.
Lots of communists,anarchists and hard core atheists,who like bashing christianity(and only christian religion maybe because of PC) and are very few times sanctioned by the moderator.
People like to say that arabics were more developed than europeans in middle ages.
That's true until 13 century. Arabs conquer most of Byzantines and found texts of greek philosophers. That allowed them to be as developed as byzantines. That happened later? Nothing, they learned to repeat those texts. )
Why nothing more? Why not the burst of innovations which happened than europeans rediscovered these texts? Answer - islam is not good religion for innovations, but christianity is. Confucianism is also definitely not good for innovations, nor pagan religions of maya or aztecs.
