Faith

Each character has a Faith score of zero in each religion he is exposed to.
The Faith score has 14 levels, ranging from -5 to 5, described below.

• -5: Murderous. All the followers of that religion should burn at the stakes.
• -4: Violent. Infidels should be expelled or violently convinced them of changing their hearts.
• -3: Hateful. Infidels should be undermined whenever it can be done.
• -2: Scornful. Poor sods, they don't know what they're doing.
• -1: Mocking. Seriously?
• 0: Indifferent
• 1: Sympathizer. Some of their beliefs make sense, others are not for me though.
• 2: Admirer: I find many of their beliefs worthy of admiration, but there are some reasons for which I haven't joined.
• 3: Initiate: I am a believer of that religion, it gives my life sense and meaning.
• 4: Follower: I am a faithful and observant follower of the teachings and rites of that religion.
• 5: Fanatic: I would do anything for that religion, its greater than family, friends, work, settlement, and even life.

A subject cannot be an Initiate in more than one religion. He might have sympathy for other religions, though, provided they are similar in its tenets, and not opposed. You cannot simultaneously be a follower of the goddess of peace, and feel sympathy for the god of war and destruction.
