Discussion: Religion

Buddha be blessed...

Vast majority would be Buddhism and maybe a few heretics here and there... :)

I think I'll go with the True Faith - i.e. Orthodoxy - as the Established Church.
Or, to spite Muscovy - Uniate.
Or a rebel Patriarchate, not yet recognised as such by his Peers, principally the Ecumenical Patriarch.

I've yet to make up my mind.
Other Christians would be tolerated. Grudgingly ...

The Manchus and Han would be Pagans - i.e. a mix Shamanism/Ancestor Worship/Bhuddist.

Probably no Jews nor Mohamedans. Definitely not in the interior, possibly limited to coastal cities.

Ah, so you will be using the heretic religion in your area. :D

well...
Mine will be a combination of Eastern Orthodoxy (~35-40%), Judaism (~40-45%), Taoism (~10%) and a native faith (~10-15%), which may or may not be made up. Ethically, the makeup would be Russian and other Slavic peoples (~60-65%), Chinese (~10-15%) and Natives (~10-20%). The official language would be Russian, but Hebrew, Mandarin, and the native's language would be common and most signs or non-government announcements would be written at least two out of the four.

Snip, I HIGHLY doubt that Hebrew would be common, considering it was an extinct language (almost) until the 1940s. Yiddish perhaps?
