To convert to totemist via rebels, the total development of your totemist provinces must be higher than the total development of the provinces of any other religion. It doesn't matter if the provinces are stated or not. The development of a single province doesn't matter either and neither does the autonomy. You also don't need to convert to animist first. You can convert directly from nahuatl to totemist following the same rules.

the issue is you cant do that directly as your DOOM going kill you before you reach Yaqui plus how to see total dev for each religion

You can use the website https://pdx.tools to see the development of each religion in your country(click on the icon with two flags on the right side of the screen and then select the religion tab). Or you can just add the developments of the provinces of each religion in your country.

animist rebels have different rules than totemist. Animist rebels always convert countries of other pagan religions if they enforce their demands(or you accept them). But if you are not pagan, animist needs to be the highest dev religion.

Ludi is not a great source of information, because his videos are made to entertain and often neglect to mention important details or contain outright errors. He was also caught cheating several times.
I just watched a little of that video from the point which you linked and what he says about converting seems to be more or less accurate for the version of the game which he was playing at that time(but I think he neglected to mention that it only works for pagan countries). But the mechanics were changed in version 1.34 which I assume you are playing. Now non-pagans can also directly convert to Totemist(and a few other pagan faiths), but they all need to have Totemist as the dominant religion(highest dev).

You mean Lion of the North?

Pagan religious rebels can now force convert you to their religion if the majority of your country has this religion. Nahuatl, Mayan and Incan are excluded from it due to their "primitive" status in the game.


What it mean by excluded?

The Lions of the North DLC has no impact on this. It was changed in the free 1.34 patch.

That's from the 1.34 patchnotes, right? Excluded probably means that nahuatl, mayan and inti rebels don't ever force convert a country to their religion(this is unchanged from previous versions). It also has the inaccuracy that a majority is not required. A plurality of the development is enough. And it doesn't mention that converting to Animist or Norse as a pagan country still has no development requirement.

But i manage to convert to Animist with 1 prov so the development requirement is invalid.

As I said multiple times, animist rebels have different rules
