"Shadow" is a good means, but how about an end? The followers of this religion are those who value secrecy above all else, for whatever reason. Some pursue taboos, whatever that may be in their culture. Some have some sort of psychological insecurity; most are seeking to use the power and techniques of the religion to subvert secular authority above them. So I would expect most nations would take a very dim view of others with this religion or anyone spreading it to their lands... though not necessarily more than the other evils, I guess. Personally, adherents to this religion detest judgement of any sort. They wish to hide who they are and what they do, and resent anyone telling them what to do. Of course, this isn't to say that they don't scrutinize each other. The other factor is a lack of trust. The god of trust is fallen, so even The Order or Empyrean share a certain suspicion of outsiders, but the Council wears deception like a coat, and knowing how they are putting one over on each other tends to make them entirely without trust even of each other. Recon Units with the Council of Esus Religion can cast Mask (Grants Hidden Nationality Promotion) & Steal. If your State Religion is Council of Esus, you can remain within the borders of your enemies at the instant of declaring war. Any Unit which does not have a religion assigned automatically has a 20% chance per religion to adopt one of the religions present in the city where they are built. Though only for Esus is it important if the unit follows the religion or not. A Unique Aspect of CoE is that your religious decision is not displayed to other players in the ScoreList, and the AI will not have diplomatic penalties with you for following a different religion than they do.
