Crusader Kings II

Crusader Kings II

Atheism (godless / no religion characters)
Tech/learning bonus
would be cool if you get a very slight tech bonus (if this isn't already a thing) if you choose this ..way of thinking, at the start. and the more people you convert the larger the bonus becomes.

Starting on Ireland lets say with one provence at the start of the game since its just you (and perhaps your wife) that follow this way of thinking, the tech bonus for your tech tree would be quite insignificant.

But if you employ a Scholar (a priest) and convert/teach your people, the tech bonus will get progressively larger for every person and provence you have under your control. eventually your tech tree will be bursting at the seams with tech points to spend as you leave everyone else that follow religions in the dust. however this should take take some TIME to get to this point. and not to mention the influence of schools and academies.

It should definitly scale with the learning skills off you Priest or Scholar and the learning skills of your character and wife. That along side with the amount of universities in the cities in your counties. This is how it currently works in vanilla. Being atheist alone won't make your kingdom filled with geniusus.

I prepose that everytime you convert a county, you get a bonus of 10 or 5 points to all the three tech trees. I think something around that seems the most balanched and makes sense. But it would reallty need to be tested to balance it propely.

Atheist characters already do get a bonus to learning, I think?

They also get an extra bonus in the form of the ability to build special tech schools for extra tech points. This bonus is something you unlock once your realm is big enough to support the cost.

So there's already both a flat bonus to learning and a bonus that increases as your realm size increases. It isn't linear... but it probably shouldn't be either, because if it was atheist kingdoms would be OP.

Update: as of version 0.9, atheists get the ability to build a Secular Learning Institute which gives a larger bonus to tech point generation.
