Maybe after a French Revolution analogue, where the faith is the enemy and they return to Roman "traditions?"@Fabius Maximus That's why I made the challenge.
Curious to see if anyone is creative enough to make it work.
Crazy suggestion, but what the hell.
So, France colonizes India, and resent against the French monarchy leads to many poor Frenchman fleeing to India. Further anger against the French monarchy leads to revolution in India, where ties to the homeland are broken off. To separate themselves further, the leader of the revolution decides to create his own strand of Bhakti Hinduism, which absorbs the concept of the Khalsa from Sikhism, leading to a very militaristic state. This religion also consists of worship of the Hindu gods, and as a result of a classicist fetish, also considers itself the Third Rome. So, a pagan "Roman Empire" - but just not the paganism you were looking for.
Why would they call themselves the Third Rome though?Crazy suggestion, but what the hell.

Maybe they derive the claim from the Latin Empire or something?Maybe a member of the House of Orleans presses his claim as Emperor of Rome in the revolution? Or maybe it's like how America claims a Roman legacy to some extent?![]()
Jesus, dude. You're turning into a low-level B-29_Bomber (jk).Well, if Cesare Borgia became Animist?
Mwahaha, infect all threads.

Note the "(jk)."If it's annoying, or breaking rules, I'll stop. I promise.
But... Only way I could see it happening is maybe Ottomans become... I don't know errm... I just don't know. A possible pagan middle eastern religion, then they invade Europe.

Make a neo-pagan state claiming to be Rome rise after 1453.
