Religion in another land

Why would any King, Chancellor or other ruler allow another religion to take hold in his lands? Darkanism is a state religion and, as such, follows the foreign policy of Darka. Why would any King, regardless of alliances, wish to put his peasantry under control of another realm? -- Dabug Habap 14:18, 9 March 2007 (CET)

That's a big discussion on the DList lately. No one really knows why you would want it. Is there any point? I could see allowing a foreign religion in if you had no religion of your own. It just seems that allowing a foreign religion to take hold in your realm provides only negatives, so why bother? In this Darkanism case, the Darkan priests were actively invited to preach, then when they started, they were told to leave. The Darkanist priests did not invite themselves. --Indirik 15:12, 9 March 2007 (CET)
