There is now a companion article which creates two religions as
examples. Here's the link:
http://inkwellideas.com/?page_id=29
or go to
http://inkwellideas.com/ and look for the worldbuilding
articles.
The articles are mostly (if not completely) edition/rpg rules neutral.
Topics covered are: relationships between multiple religions in a
world, monotheism vs. polytheism (pantheons) vs. atheism,
relationships between deities, a deity's area of influence and
personality, creating mythic stories to add depth to a religion,
tweaking game rules for specific faiths and other ways religion adds
color to a campaign.
Thanks again!
