Any way to turn off the Witch nonsense?

How do you know that there weren't, though? It is logically impossible to prove that something doesn't exist. Only existence can be proven by an example.

By that logic, let's have alien infiltrations, vampires & werewolves waging an eternal war and miniature giant space hamsters acting as councilors. By default. Because frankly, if someone wants to have all that... why not. Let people have fun. But don't force fun-ruining upon others.

I won’t lie, though, there is an easy solution to this for all of the people who, like me, are irritated by tons of the CK3 nonsense- play CK2. It’s a better game. It’s more fun. There is more depth in every single system and the characters feel so much more alive. Character traits are gained and lost as your character endures whatever hell you put them through, instead of just being static buff/debuffs like in CK3 that can never be altered

Bros, take the CK2-pill

Seriously, one of these days I am going to have to start a thread just ranting about the absurd notion of European Catholic rulers converting willy-nilly to random heresies and then suffering no real consequences, or just coming out and declaring their own religion with any trait they want as long as they've been a good enough Catholic and really smart leading up to it

first, this is a game. would you have the same problem with an african culture with the Hellenism religion conquering India?
Second, didn't one of the kings of England do just that? Create his own religion? How is that any different than the King of Bohemia creating a Christian religion that accepts witchcraft? Well, there's a lot different, but that gets into actual theology, not something CK3 really deals with...

I'm all for historically accurate witchcraft. Give me alchemists, folk healers, and miracle makers. Hermeticism and Herodiana in Europe, Vodou in Africa, Tantra in South Asia. But Horned God covens belong to a Wicca mod, not the main game.

By the way, pasting an interesting link about Tibetan magic: https://rubinmuseum.org/spiral/war-magic-the-wizarding-world-of-tibetan-sorcery

1) Because the Reformation was a rather unique period in history, and not in our timeframe, so he got away with it
2) The Reformation- princes breaking away from the Roman church- caused the most destructive war in European history that inflicted a National trauma on Germany unparalleled until the Second World War
3) Anglicanism was not a new religion, and was almost identical to Catholicism for its early years- it only began to change as a result of the hardline reformers, and this process involved a civil war that devastated England. And one of the biggest things that divided the Anglicans was, to simplify it to the point of silliness, how to decorate churches. People during the Middle Ages and well after, cared very very deeply about religion, and this religion was completely intertwined with every aspect of society, and CK3 does a very poor job at modeling this
