      If history has shown anything secretarian violence is far worse than difference of religion.
      Many many religions have semi-peacefully co-existed in history. Religious schisms on the other hand have literally partitioned nations in the _attempt_ to reduce the violence caused.

      First time as the Ikko Ikki, Otomo became my enemies, the fuckers missionaries are my nightmares. They owned half the maps. The christians revolted, in province where there are no christians, including my capital. I had to send my army all the ways to kyushu while converting them, their ninjas killed my monks and no metsukes to kill them. After beating them, I was preparing for realm dvided, one province rebelled and somehow became ikkoikki. All my best armies in Kyushu. My inlaws betrayed me, Three daimyos of mine died in different battles. It was the most fun campaign I play. Running around avoiding getting fucked. Try to attack only weakspots. Making vassals and leaving their gift regiment to delay enemies superior armies. The cause came from the Otomo, they attack me for no reason, and their missionaries are a night mare.
