Oh, that's right! I remembered that pressing a vassal or dynasty member's claim will let you keep the land, I forgot that having de jure claim on the land does the same. That makes things much easier, thanks!
Wait, wait, wait. a Batman event? Why haven't I heard of this? I need to play New York more often. How does this event start?
Currently, my plan is for Thelemic Britain to be ruled by a Lord Protector, notionally subservient to their weird Lovecraftian Queen but for mechanical reasons essentially an independent ruler in their own right. Similar to the Japanese Shogunate in vanilla EU4, which is also useful here because Japan also has an unavailable semi-divine Emperor. The "true" rulers themselves could be explored through events and such.
First, I want to make another push for thelematic pilgrims. Does the game actually imply that the queen actually rules all of England, or that the thelmatics are the majority religion of the island? She's a figurehead it's plausible that her de facto territory doesn't include the entire area and the religion is a little hedonistic and sacrificey. It isn't that much of a stretch that the local populous isn't loyal to their figurehead queen. Honestly, I don't think it would be that different from having England fractured.
Yes:
Although it does include a few pilgrim shout outs it makes it perfectly clear that the "mother country" has an established Thelemic church, and I don't want to retcon that.
I don't object to having some areas of the British Isles independent and following different religions, I just don't want to retcon the Redcoats into a peculiar religious minority that is all but unknown in Europe.
The Queen worship is purely fictional, an elaboration on Thelema for the purposes of the setting. I believe it's mostly a reference to A Study in Emerald by Neil Gaiman and dates back to a point in the mod's history where the Redcoats were Occultists. Nevertheless, it's been woven into the particular take on Thelema and makes as much sense as the changes to any other religion in the mod.
I did not know that bit about redcoats being occultists at one point, and I will admit that I over looked the text from that event. I agree about not making them a small sect. When I thought of it the first time I didn't envision a one to one comparison. I was kind of thinking they would be on the retreat. Very much like the byzantines are at the beginning of eu4. Contrasted to the pilgrims who were a religious minority (although I wouldn't say they were largely unknown throughout Europe simply because they were part of the larger reformation which and could be linked to the other reformation movements many of whom could be considered to be largely unknown) challenging the established church, the thelmatics are the established church being succefully challenged by religious dissenters. I would like to point out no where in that event you cited does it say the church is in a particularly strong place, only that it is established.
Your proposal has been noted. When the mod is in a place where thinking about game balance makes sense, it will be considered further. If you want to help to get it to that place pm me.
