About this ebook
Creating fictional worlds means writing about people – and often that means cultural institutions, especially religion and philosophy. If you think Worldbuilding is complicated, wait until gods, demons, sages, and philosophers get drawn into the mix!
This book is a helpful series of 50 questions, as well as follow-up exercises and more, to help you think about religion in your setting. From metaphysics and hidden truths, to tradition and superstition, it's time to ask some hard questions – about often soft subjects!
Worldbuilding is a challenge, but with this book you've got a prayer of getting religion right!

I appreciate the approach taken and the effort to avoid offending the sensibilities of potential readers. The questions and exercises work well to stimulate new vantage points for the writer. I don't know why this series isn't ranked higher.
