1.02 Religion in Switzerland bug still there
There are three aspects to this problem:
1. Missing entries that prevent the new .csv from coming into effect
2. Population size is altered through the new .csv
3. The csvs do not reflect the provinicial distribution of religion
Regarding 1:
-1836.eug, 1861.eug, 1881.eug and 1914.eug are missing entries mentioning the new switzerland_catholics.csv
-the directories for the 1861, 1881 and 1914 scenarios are missing a switzerland_catholics.csv. These should ideally be new ones, reflecting overall population growth, and the fact that the 1848 constitution introduced the right to settle freely throughout the country, which introduced small religious minorities to the larger cities. The latter is less important than the population size, of course.
Regarding 2:
-it seems that the new .csv has effectively added catholic POPs instead of replacing some of the protestants in the old .csv. I suppose that both need to be edited in order to reduce the respective populations.
Regarding 3:
-the distribution of religion in Switzerland has always been strongly localized, and even more so before freedom of settlement was introduced. This was a decisive factor behind the conservatism in those cantons that in the 1840s formed the Sonderbund (in the game, this would be the provinces of Luzern and Sitten). The defeat of the Sonderbund in a civil war was what led to the unification of Switzerland in 1848.
The distribution should generally follow the lines described by Iskender in another thread:

For gameplay purposes, Sitten, Bellinzona and Luzern should be purely catholic, Chur predominantly. The other Swiss provinces may remain protestant.
