Hey! I had an idea––Why don't you actually write a section on the French Bunsen page about the Religion of Cuth, its activity, and role in the vibrant society of the colonies? I was thinking that within a year or two of its establishment, it might become a fad within the core worlds, especially Bourdelles-de-Bunsen, something alien and hip that some people might delve into, experiment with, and distort at will for better or for worse.

French education has a tendency to look down on religion as counter to reason, which means you won't draw the most educated or knowledgeable crowd. However, the Bunsen colonies host a large population of fanciful artists and pleasure seekers who might be less concerned with reason and actually open to faith, especially if it becomes rooted within their social circle.

Outside the core worlds, things are a lot more quiet and calm with small colonies and cities that don't get that much attention. You might find niche communities which are composed of one type of culture, so it might be difficult to sway them to another when they're already within their comfort zone.

Basically what I'm saying is to have fun with it. Get the religion involved in the vibrant culture of the FBC, fielding its own artists, philosophers, and writers with their own styles and ideas. Don't make it too big, though. It might become mainstream in the long run, but not enough time has passed for it to settle in that much.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them on IRC, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with if you take this on! :D
