Every civilization has its own unique religion like Sunni-Islam for Ottomans, and Shia-Islam for Persian and Christianity-Catholicism for Spanish and Portuguese. Now all priests of these civilization can pray at churches and temples of worship to gather a unique resource called "Faith". Faith can be used to perform "Rituals", a unique type of techs that can enhance units or even declare Jihad.
