most of history played out the same but christianity never arose so europe stayed pagan. and now its modern america and it would show the lives of people in such a world where we have the internet and cell phones, and temples to Jupiter and Odin on every street. and there is a show like The 700 Club except it's about preaching the message of Osiris, lord of the dead and how to prepare for the journey to his land. and when a new president is elected, a goat or cow is sacrificed on live tv as part of the inauguration ceremony.

maybe I would call the show something like "Nation of the Gods" or "United States of Gods"

isn't that about fake modern gods though? I haven't ever read or seen it. but I thought it was about the old gods dying and these new gods of america popping up. my idea is alternate history about actual real religions.

and the gods aren't seen on the show. that is a fantasy. my show is a normal world, just with a different religion. you don't see the gods just like JEsus himself never shows up on most normal tv shows. it's about the people who live in the world

So it's just like real life but the churches look different. A chilling bit of speculative fiction to be sure

so instead of settlers coming to America to escape Christian religious persecution, they came to escape pagan religious persecution and every thing pretty much happened the same?

I don't know. I just wanted a cool pagan world. if I was getting paid for it, I would sit down and actually think about all the details. or if I was an actual writer which I am not cause I suck at writing. which sucks cause I used to want to be a writer.

Now that sounds a lot better than the way things are now. Well, except spare the life of the goat or cow, they are innocent beings.

Isn't this functionally Japan? Shinto is a form of paganism and is very pervasive in Japanese tradition but you don't see religious iconography everywhere.

at least "pagan" religions had good stories.

though calling religions pagan because your religion is the right one, those others are just stories is pretty fucking narrow minded
