  1. AHC: Muslim Iberia, Christian Anatolia

    Your challenge is to have Iberia be mostly Muslim and Anatolia be mostly Christian, rather than the other way around as it is IOTL.
  2. AHC: Jain African Country

    Your challenge is to have a majority Jain country somewhere in Africa. And yes, I was inspired by this thread.
  3. AHC: Lutheran Hungary

    Your challenge is to have the majority of Hungary be Lutheran by the year 1600.
  4. AHC: Zoroastrian Turks

    Your challenge is to have the majority of the Turkic peoples be Zoroastrian.
  5. AHC: No end of Greco-Roman polytheism

    Your challenge is to have Greco-Roman polytheism survive as a relatively major religion to the modern day. I'd like the POD to be after the death of Constantine the Great, but that's not required. Traditional Greco-Roman religion doesn't necessarily have to be dominant or the majority in any...
  6. AHC: Arianism Ascendant

    Your challenge is to have Arianism supplant Nicene Christianity. Nicene Christianity doesn't necessarily have to become extinct, it just has to not be the majority within the religion of Christianity.
  7. AHC: Majority Bahá'í Faith country by 1950

    Your challenge is to have at least one country's population be mostly followers of the Bahá'í Faith by 1950. This doesn't have to be a large majority, 51% will do. Before anyone asks, I posted this in Before 1900 because I think this would be more feasible with an earlier POD.
  8. AHC: Save Catharism

    Your challenge is relatively straightforward: have Catharism survive as a faith to the present day. Bonus points for somehow having a country with a majority Cathar population, at least for a time.
  9. DBAHC: Convert the majority of sub-Saharan Africans to Christianity and/or Islam

    While Christianity and Islam have made significant inroads in sub-Saharan Africa, the vast majority of sub-Saharan Africans have clung to their traditional beliefs. Of course, there's the argument that their faiths have changed significantly over the past two millennia, so they're not really...
  10. AHC: Reverse the presence of the Abrahamic and Dharmic religions

    IOTL, the Abrahamic religions (especially Christianity and Islam) have global influence, while the Dharmic religions have major presences that are mostly confined to parts of Asia. Your challenge is to reverse this: make it so the Dharmic religions are prominent worldwide and the Abrahamic...
  11. AHC: Surviving Arianism

    Your challenge is to have some form of Arian Christianity survive to the present day.
  12. AHC: More prominent Jainism

    While Jainism has a very long history, it currently has only four or five million followers, making it by far the smallest of the Indian/Dharmic religions. Your challenge is to make it so the religion is considerably more prominent in the modern day.
  13. AHC: Zoroastrianism stays a major religion

    Zoroastrianism was once one of the most prominent religions in the world. Once Iran was conquered by the Muslims, however, it began to decline. Now there are fewer than 200,000 Zoroastrians left, though it's growing more popular in Iraqi Kurdistan, so we may see them significantly expand in...
  14. AHC: Dīn-i Ilāhī becomes a major religion

    Akbar was an ambitious ruler, and one of his most ambitious projects was to start his own religion. He called it Tawhid-i-Ilāhī, but today, it's more commonly known as Dīn-i Ilāhī. While Akbar's achievements were generally quite lasting, his attempt to found his own religion failed to make much...
