Can I get a list of all fictional/fantasy religions that are based on real world religions and the campaign worlds they come from.

Examples include:

Vaticine Church, Objectionist Church, Church of Avalon, and Ussuran Orthodox (Catholicism, Protestant, Church of England, Eastern Orthodox) - 7th Sea
True Faith of the King of Life (Mormanism) - Dogs in the Vineyard
Maytanism (Hinduism) - Mindshadows
Ja'Ilam (Islam) - Endless Sands
Old Religion (pre-islamic Arabian faith) - Endless Sands
Nyambe Orisha (Yoruba traditions) - Nyambe: African Adventures
Eternal Truth (Islam?) - Mystara (Known World)
Maztica pantheon (Aztec pantheon) - Maztica
Crescent Empire faith (Islam?) - 7th Sea
Shintaoism (Shintoism?/Daoist?) - Legends of the 5 Rings
Golden Soul? (Confucianism\Daoism?/Buddhism?) - 7th Sea (Cathay)
Path of Enlightenment (Confucianism) - Kara-Tur
The Way (Daoism) - Kara-Tur
The Eight Million Gods (Shintoism) - Kara-Tur

I think the sample dualistic pantheon (I forget the name) given towards the end of Deities & Demigods (3e version) was based on Zaroastrianism

Thank you for your suggestion, but I was primarily looking for paper and pencil rpg worlds.

Sorta remembered that one but it slipped my mind. I may seriously consider using this for my Jewish faith unless I can find something better.

If it helps, I'm seriously considering making the Church of Glabados the main religion of my 5e Final Fantasy Hack. :smallcool:

But outside of that, I'm no longer any help haha.

I'm sticking to 3.0/3.5/Pathfinder for rules and 7th Sea for the Christian Church.
