To answer the title of this topic - no, I don't. If it was implented in the game the means and gameplay to develop/support an imaginary religion, I think that would be a lot of fun to mess around with. Most likely, I would want to create a Watcher-based religion since I play the game and direct my Sims' lives. But I personally don't feel that real life stuff belongs in a Sims game. That because I seperate game and reality and like it so.
This is an idea I like a great deal. It addresses religion for those who want it but doesn't alienate a bunch of people who's religions might not be represented and doesn't upset people who don't wish to see religions that are not their own represented. I'd still hope for an opt in/out system though because there are people in the world who play and don't wish to be force-fed any religion.
I'm an atheist myself, but I like to create a representative sample so to speak and have actually added different religions to my game through the holiday system. So far, I've represented Catholicism, Judaism, Wicca, and Druidism as holiday markers ( I am aware that there are many many others, and not just those 4), but I don't want it in every game either. A Simsland only religion that isn't really any real life one and is all of them at the same time would be great. Especially if it were slightly editable like the holidays to allow players to tailor is slightly to suit themselves.
