I already asked it.
(Strangely I thought I already replied this the day you posted it.)

Well actually, I came here to post what I already made. It isn't yet fully finished (The localisations aren't finished, the last step of the reformation sometimes gives you the standard version of reformed Baltic when you choose the version without religious head and both choices you get if you reform are still placeholders).
Though as I'm leaving on vacation this Saturday, and at this moment it's mostly the process of reformation itself rather then the reformed religions I'm needing feedback on. I decided to upload what I already made anyway.

Excuse me while I squeal like an excited teenage girl. I'll take a look at it tonight when I get home from work.
 
Agree, though I think Zunist should (by default) end up more like Zoroastrian than Muslim? (I'd say the Muslim option was the tribal option, since the whole Fylkirate thing is supposed to be analogous to the caliphate?).

So Zoroastrian; Reformer gets a special trait, decedents get a minor trait. Divine blood maybe? Plus marrying someone with the major or minor trait also gives prestige. (The traits give both prestige and spouse prestige). Something like that.
 
Couple things about Kemitism that I feel could be improved. The Pharaoh of Egypt should be the religious head, this was formally his position as a Divine king. Kemitism actually has a historical heresy, Atenism. This was a monotheist "movement" promulgated by Pharaoh Akhenhaten albeit in 1400 BC so it's a bit old for a resurgence, especially considering it only lasted 20 years. Nonetheless it provides an interesting historical alternative.

atenism is already in the mod
 
What about an option to reform that makes you more like the Dharmic system? That's the most realistic outcome of a pagan reformation, anywho.

EDIT: One idea: we may imagine that offensive pagans would be more likely to embrace the idea of holy war and evangelism, while defensive pagans may be more isolationist. In this case, the Norse, Germanic, and Tengri religions should act more like the typical Abrahamic model, while the Balts, Finns, Slavs, West Africans, and Tibetans would act more like the Indian model.

This may be a bit of a stretch but how about letting the Hight Priest (Zunist) to excommunicate Zunist characters. I can't go into detail on it but lets just say that the Darkness has taken them through their misdeeds. Plus being excommunicated will make surviving Zun's judgement far less likely. If not going both mad and blind. Or if having a christian power is out of the question how about letting the "Blind characters cannot inherit titles" as a religious clause. Though I'm not exactly sure if religious and cultural abilities can work interchangeably.

Secondly, I like to play with the idea that reformed Zunist practice the Hindu caste system to loosely tie in that Zunist have Hindu influences especially regarding to Surya. And mostly to help bridge the gap between them since Hindus never marry untouchables. For they're the only viable allies, since the Buddhist are being eaten by everyone, the Jians are busy switching away from Jian and the Mazdaks are unavailable. Plus the method of breeding in a caste trait is too time consuming and often leaves a trail of broken hearts.
