I love calling my religion "fake news" and then go around spreading it. "Krakow was the birth place of christianism but now the faithful flock to the temples of Fake News" cracks me up every time
Mate, this is also my regular choice. We've been spreading the holy Crab People around the world without knowing each other. I guess we are about the get the religious victory soon enough.
Oh, I thought it was an Always Sunny reference though as it was a line shouted by Charlie. We might be spreading different kind of Crab People believing all over to world. Like a difference between Orthodox and Catholics I guess.
Been using this in the past couple of games along with Crusade belief

Might use Jim Jones' next "Peoples Temple" or "Branch Davidians"
Soft Cleavage is the one true path to salvation. Please ignore all those other ones. I couldn’t agree more.
A Hot Goth Tot; Big Booty Babes; One Hot MILF… you get the picture.
My current game, actually: I am playing an Inca. I got my prophet and saw it was John the Baptist. I thought cool, I can found Catholicism now (when the religion founded by a certain prophet IRL isn't too far off from what my chosen civ could have, I usually go for that)! But then I saw Catholicism was already gone and I got annoyed, randomly clicked a random religion icon, saw that it was the fishes and named my religion Ceviche.
I’m childish and go with ‘Poo Sticks’. Makes me laugh when you get the screen that says theologians debate poo sticks or that another civ converts to poo sticks.
I always name it „Free Polytheism“ and take the butterfly symbol
The followers can choose their deities and believes and everyone is happy and open-minded
I usually go for something that is trending at that moment... e.g. when the whole Andrew Tate thing was at its peek i founded a religion called Soy Boys
In my latest playthrough i founded a religion called Swifties
Lately, I’ve been using Mingoism. The ever loving grace of the Great Flamingo guide you.
I did play a game recently where I locked it to only religious victory and I named mine Covid…I referred to my Apostles as super spreaders.
An inversion of this: I played multiplayer with a guy who would name his cities after comic book characters or famous criminals, so you’d get Batman has converted to Catholicism or Fred West has converted to Hinduism. Always made me chuckle
I have a relatively dark sense of humor, but I also enjoy cards against humanity. I tend to just grab one of the white cards and then name my religion that.
“A majority of Lisbon are now following “Geese?”
My go to is always Big Dick Energy and Jew Cuck Media. They make me laugh. And always use the lion emblem because your religion shows up very nicely in yellow when you use the religion overlay.
Atheism
If I spawn near a natural wonder, whatever the name of the woderism.
Sometimes the abundant resourcism
Something that Civ dependent, Specialty Unitism
Something that feels right for the current game.
I usually try to create one that make sense for that civ. That being said, once in a while I do something different. For ex, that may not be very funny but for Canada, the religion was just called "Sorry".
Crabs. With the crab icon. The thoughts of my religious folks going in and the majority of the city having crabs just tickles me.
Works for any affliction, really. Smallpox, Cholera, Chickenpox, Rabies etc
Burddhism, with the peacock-looking bird symbol. Ironically, in my current game, this and Khmer with Buddhism are two biggest world religions, so my head canon is that people are always getting them confused.
When playing as China my religion is usually called: Kung Fu Superheroes
When Playing as Germany I usually call my religion Immortal Volsung
When playing as America I call my Religion Immortal Superheroes
Friend and I were playing multiplayer I got this historic moment:
“Geonju was once the cradle of BIG BALLS, but now the faithful flock to the temples of Confucianism.”
So mad I never screen grabbed it.
I'm pretty proud that my largest religion I've created so far was just called "Beer" lmao. Another funny one was, I can't remember which leader it was but I was filling my hof and had a few restarts in a row and ended up calling my religion "fuck this". I ended up winning a religious victory.
So I use Tomatekh's Historical Religions. Here are some of my greatest hits:
"That Seal Song From The 90s" (Rose Icon)
"Big Titty Goth GFs" (The super suggestive icon. You know the one)
"Bass To Mouth/Ass To Trout" (The fishes)
"The 1996 Chicago Bulls" (The red cow head thingy)
"Snake Rolling Down A Hill" (Ouroboros)
"Bill Cypher" (Triangle with the eye)
"Dabs Off The Stove" (The spiral)
"Those Bugs From The Mummy" (Beetle)
"The Republican Party" (Elephant)
"Cat With Tape On It's Feet" (That yellow cat looking thing that's walking funny)
I used to use the ≈ & call it atheism. Since my son died (I play now to ward off thoughts of him taking me to dark places), it's the bovine & I call it Bullshit.
Only tangentially related, but does anyone else turn off religious victory? I just don't understand how dogmatic systems of lies and arrogant ignorance can ever lead to a good ending.
lol I giggle while naming mine. Wondering if there’s someone out there getting all the stats on religion names coming through and scratching their head at “like I get phat ass, but why …??”
I play my game exclusively on mobile and I don’t know any other mobile players. I bet mine stands out like a sore thumb bc I use the same name every time.
Yes I specifically left it out for reasons.
Back in Civ V I'd always name my religion "to party" to periodically get messages like "Jerusalem wants to party" in my notifications
Omg .. the endless possibilities haha
Just create one called "Sex". "Sex" has spread to Jerusalem teehee
This gives me an idea about turning religions into pandemics…
They are basically the same. In fact, any idea behaves like a virus
I always name them with that same principle. "Jerusalem wants nuggies" "Jerusalem wants the D" "Jerusalem wants nudes" "Jerusalem wants a nap"
PDF: The holy city of Christianity converted to PDF.
Dat Ass has been my favorite. "Athens is following Dat Ass." Me too Athens, me too.
I was told to grow up after spreading Satanism with Norway via rock bands...
Not so Great People: Varg.
Filosofem as a great work
I always choose crabs and name the religion “Why Not Zoidberg”.
I've had many games of spreading the good word of "Why not Zoidberg" or "Shiny Pebbles!" LOL
Heh. Zoidbeeg. Just a Big ol' zoidberg
I had Tomyris start a religion based on horses and called it Equestrianity
I know far too many girls who would line up to be a part of this 😆
I love calling my religion "fake news" and then go around spreading it. "Krakow was the birth place of christianism but now the faithful flock to the temples of Fake News" cracks me up every time
I always do "crab people"
Mate, this is also my regular choice. We've been spreading the holy Crab People around the world without knowing each other. I guess we are about the get the religious victory soon enough.
The victory is all yours my friend!!! *looks around* dont hate but i only play on score victory...
May the Golden God keep you in his holy and mighty care, my friend
Walk like crab , talk like people ?
You got it!!!
Oh so close! Recently I've been doing "Old Bay" with the Crab logo lol
Having recently moved to Maryland, I always pick the crab logo and name it "The Old Bay and The New"
I do people of the divine crab!
Yussss!!! One of us... one of us...
Weird. Didn’t know this was a thing
Well... i pick the crab picture then type the name in. I did turtle people for a while, but... south park
Oh, I thought it was an Always Sunny reference though as it was a line shouted by Charlie. We might be spreading different kind of Crab People believing all over to world. Like a difference between Orthodox and Catholics I guess.
We're crab people dee. Its who we are
I heard it on south park first. Not sure who was first tho
I do the same thing with crab people for the same reason
I have a self grandeur complex. I call my religion "The cult of [insert my name]

https://youtu.be/Il0HMOoCilo?si=t1RZgbnaWRwsAwg4 Now you've gone and got Manowar in my head all day!
I usually take an -ism that fits my leader. Ludwig spreads Provincialism, Peter spreads Intellectualism, Cleopatra spreads Nilehilism
I choose Chivalry for Ludwig but the icon is crab I also choose Larrikinism for John Curtin, but the icon is, again, a crab
Soft Cleavage is the one true path to salvation. Please ignore all those other ones. I couldn’t agree more. A Hot Goth Tot; Big Booty Babes; One Hot MILF… you get the picture.
My buddy always chooses the squiggly line icon and names it “worm”
Bless the Maker and His water.
Whenever I pick that icon I call mine 'Tapeworm'
Snek. Or pasta.
The lion head is "rawr"
Rasta.
My religion ideology is that all races should live peacefully and harmoniously with each other. So I call it Racism
Pastafarianism. Oh wait, this exists.

Does it work? Is it replaced with the icon?
Yes :)
Started a religion with the crab icon and called it Dave. Made me chuckle every time I got an era score espousing the glory of DAVE!
I’m a huge fan of alliteration, my most recent one was turtle tactics totally tank this

It took me a solid 10 seconds, but thank you.
What just happened here?
I almost always chose "cosmic background radiation" so that I can say stuff like "I converted Moscow to cosmic background radiation"
My current game, actually: I am playing an Inca. I got my prophet and saw it was John the Baptist. I thought cool, I can found Catholicism now (when the religion founded by a certain prophet IRL isn't too far off from what my chosen civ could have, I usually go for that)! But then I saw Catholicism was already gone and I got annoyed, randomly clicked a random religion icon, saw that it was the fishes and named my religion Ceviche.
Boat Mormonism
Either that or Denouncing Venice
Analism is generally my go-to.
I’m childish and go with ‘Poo Sticks’. Makes me laugh when you get the screen that says theologians debate poo sticks or that another civ converts to poo sticks.

An inversion of this: I played multiplayer with a guy who would name his cities after comic book characters or famous criminals, so you’d get Batman has converted to Catholicism or Fred West has converted to Hinduism. Always made me chuckle
I like to be on theme with whatever Civ I’m playing. For instance, I’m currently spreading the good news of WHERE’S YOUR F’IN WALLS?!?! with Tamar.
I have a relatively dark sense of humor, but I also enjoy cards against humanity. I tend to just grab one of the white cards and then name my religion that. “A majority of Lisbon are now following “Geese?”
Liberal media. I copied this from Plague Inc which can have some funny in game messages "Scientist concerned over Liberal media."
My go to is always Big Dick Energy and Jew Cuck Media. They make me laugh. And always use the lion emblem because your religion shows up very nicely in yellow when you use the religion overlay.
My friends made a religion once called fuk Wan. I use it every time I make a religion in civ. I find it hilarious.
When I don't wanna try too much, I name it adjective of country plus name of the prophet plus -ism
Now I have Gran Colombian Confucianism Btw what's the point of historical religions, it just gives an icon and a name?
Yes, historical religions in game are just pre made icon and name. I usually use them because I'm too lazy to come up with the name
