Really feels like a massive improvement. I've never seen one empire dominate the world this much.

That... is one large empire. How long did it take you to colonize that much land in the Americas?
What are your relations with Ghana?
How long did it take you to convert that much territory?
Protestantism looks... weak. Also, why are there Catholics in Russia? For that matter, why are there Orthodox in Germany?

My colonies did most of the work in North America after I gave them just a little land tbh.
I didn't really interact with Ghana.
Most of the territory was converted already in CK3, excluding the colonies.
The Catholics in Russia were there already in CK3.

More Religion Worldbuilding
So I think it’s about time I worldbuilt the beliefs of the faith I made for this playthrough.
In the beginning, the faith believes, there was the feminine cosmic entity of Chaos. Chaos gave birth to four sons, who she would take as her spouses - God, Satan, Jesus, and Cyrus. Cyrus made the earth, Jesus filled it with water, God added air, and Satan created the creatures to inhabit the world. Satan also made one creature in the image of the gods - humans - and gave them fire, as well as creating the sun.
Now, the Israelites and Judahites in this faith are still considered God’s original chosen people. When they fell, it is believed that Cyrus came down to free them from the Babylonians and create the Persian Empire. Eventually Jesus came down to preach to the people of Judea. Muhammad is also still recognized as a prophet, sent by God. But the faith believes his direct successors end with the disappearance of the Fatimid line.
However, the traditional Abrahamic religions differ significantly from the beliefs of this faith. Those innovations are credited to Shadan, now caliph of the faith and ruler of Persia, who they believe was divinely inspired to succeed and surpass the Fatimids, and who they believe is a descendant of Satan in the form of a dragon.
The faith bans clothing, even if it’s cold, apart from accessories such as headwear or jewelry. The human body is sacred to this faith. Keeping the body in good shape is encouraged for the same reason. It is also believed that harnessing the power of Satan through witchcraft can not only strengthen oneself and protect against the cold but also drive away, or even capture, evil spirits.

Some better maps.
I like the worldbuilding on the religion. What influences were you taking for that? And what was the faith like in the game?
Honestly I took some of my older faith worldbuilding as an influence.
And here's the post with the original faith.
