Preliminary thoughts
First, I really applaud the effort you put into doing up an early iteration of this collaborative framework. Though I must add a few things:
- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are quite intertwined since, well, Christianity and Islam are offshoots of Judaism which got very big. As such, logically, Judaism would originate in the Jewish homeland (Naphon) and from there, through trade and colonisation in the Memsberic region, would Christianity and Islam spread.
- When setting out the major religions and their sects, we just sort out some of the basic tenets and potential origins. There doesn't need to be exact equivalents of the main religious figures, though they could still be vaguely referenced in some way (like Mohammed or Buddha or the Messiah). It's also possible to create a set of fictional prophets/saints to be used as names, but they won't be necessarily central figures of said religion.
- I acknowledge that here, this is where the line between the real-world and OGF gets blurred as we "adapt" versions of real-world religions that are, unfortunately, quite tied to the places they originate or very prevalant in. This would def be a very contentious part for which I doubt there would be a clear consensus on.
