If you're referring to my relations sheet WIP on the history collab calling about everyone a heathen, that's more from the perspective of a pretty religious population. The government doesn't care that much for crusading since that is what historically ruined both the previous empires, and if you missed that vague mention in my post, Thaurissan freaking assassinated the previous Divine Prefect. They might appeal to the state religion, but they still have to curb the power of the church sometimes.
