Errr...
I wonder if assigning specific effects to actual religions might just cause a wee bit of angst amongst their actual devotees due to the inevitable 'stereotyping' that must occur when simplifying.
For example we can see Christianity being attached to everything from genocide (Spanish Crusade) to absolute benevolence (Mother Theresa) and a great deal between. Buddism practitioners range in 'flavor' from theist to atheist, and can be considered to harbour pantheist in their midst as well (the latter being Tibetan if I'm not mistaken). Extreme examples could probably be given for every major religion, including Secular Humanism
Is it possible to keep things generic, like Monotheistic, Pantheistic, etc. to avoid these problems?
Just my 2 bytes.
