每个角色都遵循一种 信仰 （Faith ）。信仰是宗教的个别宗派，指导其信徒应当以何种方式生活。
宗教热情
Fervor is a measure of how righteous adherents believe that a faith is and ranges from 0% to 100%. Fervor determines how expensive it is for rulers to create new faiths and how likely counties and characters are to convert.
Fervor increases at a rate of +0.3 each month, modified by the virtues and sins of religious leaders, particularly the head of faith. Fervor grows more slowly for faiths followed in more than 20 counties. New faiths start at 100% fervor while historical ones start at 50%.
改信
Each character can convert to a different faith at any point. Conversion costs piety based on the difference between the doctrines of the new faith and the doctrines of the old one. The cost can also be affected by the following:
- −25% if converting to an existing faith
- −50% if converting to the faith of a spouse
- −150% if the new faith exists in the realm or a neighboring realm
- +25% if the new faith is unreformed while having clan government
- +100% if the new faith belongs to a different religion within the same religious family
- +200% if the new faith belongs to a different religious family
- +500% if the new faith is not present in any county in the world
- +500% if the new faith is unreformed while the old faith is organized
新的信仰
A ruler can create a new faith for a religion once per lifetime by spending a very large amount of piety. The farther the new faith's tenets will be from the character's original faith the more piety it will cost to change it. Once a new faith is created the ruler, its close family and its realm capital will instantly convert. Vassals may convert depending on their 
opinion and difference in 
learning. New faiths inherit the holy sites of the original faith.
A ruler who is a vassal cannot create a new faith unless its primary title rank is at least 
duke.
A new faith cannot have both its tenets and doctrines entirely identical to those of an existing faith.
改革
Faiths that are unreformed can be reformed by a ruler who controls at least 3 holy sites by spending a large amount of 
piety. Upon reformation, the new faith will keep the name of the old faith while the old faith will be renamed.
When reforming their faith, AI rulers will never change tenets or doctrines except possibly for those regarding the head of faith.
信仰列表
基督教
基督教信仰拥有特殊教义耶稣的教导。其中一些信仰还有普世教会合一教义，使得拥有该教义的基督教信仰相互认为是迷途而不是敌对。

祆教
Zoroastrianism can only be selected as a starting religion in 867. While it still exists in 1066 there aren't any landed characters that practice it. It is the only Eastern religion that treats other faiths within the religion as heresies aka hostile and other religions as evil.
道教
All Taoist faiths are not practiced in any county although in 867 King Huaishen of Guiyi practices it. Their number of holy sites also differ.

克尔斯蒂亚尼

波斯尼亚高地上的克尔斯蒂亚尼长久以来同时被天主教和东正教遗忘，他们比同胞更宽容，但缺乏正式的架构。他们保留了基督教的古老元素，常常被同教人轻蔑对待，如果真的有人记得他们的话。

Dualism
In both start dates Manicheanism is the only Dualist faith remaining.
| 信仰
|
描述
|
Manicheanism
|
The revelations granted to Buddha, Zoroaster and Jesus were incomplete reflections of the real world. The prophet Mani brought the final revelation of the existence of the spiritual world of light and the material world of darkness, and how human souls, as with all light, gradually return to the creator.
|
Cainitism
|
Caine was the first victim of the Evil of the Demiurge, creator of all physical matter. Since matter and bodies are evil, bodies must be defiled and destroyed through sinfulness, so that the true human soul within can be freed.
|
Mandeaism
|
Mandeanism traces its lineage to Adam, with John the Baptist as their greatest prophet. The world consists of light and darkness, and in time all mortal souls will be judged as to whether they are worthy to return to the eternal light.
|
Priscillianism
|
There exists two kingdoms, one of Light and one of Darkness. Human souls were intended to conquer the Kingdom of Darkness, but fell and were trapped in the material realm. Among humans there were Twelve Patriarchs of Light who failed to overcome the Darkness, as they were split between body and soul. Thus God sent the Saviour to earth, and through his death once again enabled the freeing of human spirits.
|
Sabianism
|
Sabianism believes in the eternally existing God, and a material world created by Satan. They worship the angelic caretakers of the world, who — together with the Prophets — guide humanity towards heaven, and reunification with God.
|
Sethianism
|
The Unknown God emanated all existence into the perfect Pleroma, filled by gracious aeons, first among them Barbelo the Mother-Father.
A corruption caused the existence of Yaldabaoth, who stole a shred of divinity and created the material world. However, when he created mankind, he accidentally gave them his stolen spark of divinity. Yaldabaoth will spend eternity attempting to reclaim his power, while mankind must strive to return themselves to Barbelo and the Unknown God.
|
Valentinianism
|
The Father, the original creator, is the depth of all knowledge, and the path to true understanding — gnosis. Achieving knowledge improves the world, and once the world is collectively lifted from its material ignorance, the world will return to its spiritual, natural state.
|
Miletê Tawûsê Melek

In the same manner, we all seek to reunite with God at the end of many long lifetimes.

|
Vajrayana
|
The motivation towards buddhahood is crucially important, and true enlightenment can only be achieved when sought for the benefit of all sentient beings. All beings are born with an enlightened mind, but it is obscured by existence. Practicing seeing the truth of the world and the universe therefore unlocks one's innate enlightenment.
|
Theravada
|
The path to enlightenment goes through personal experience, reflection and reasoning. Gautama Buddha found his own path to Nirvana, and the only way of finding a similar way, is to experience, learn and study ones own existence.
|
Mahayana
|
Release from Samsara is not merely something done individually, but an experience that is shared among sentient beings. Achieving buddhahood is one step on the long path for all sentient beings to be released into Nirvana, and that is the virtuous goal of Samsara.

Krishna is the authentic form of the Supreme Being, and Vishnu is his avatar when he takes form as the omnipotent. Through his divine avatars, he is present in all things.

|
Advaita Vedanta
|
Unlike many Hindu faiths, Advaita Vedanta emphasizes the unity of the Atman, the true self, with the Brahman, the truest reality, and believes that moksha can be achieved in life as well as death.

|
An offshoot of Svetambara, the Yapaniya believe that moksha is attainable through death, but that it is important to enable the freeing of the soul as much as possible in life, through acts such as nakedness.
