Heresy is any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs, in particular the accepted beliefs of a church or religious organization. A heretic is a proponent of such claims or beliefs. Heresy is distinct from both apostasy, which is the explicit renunciation of one's religion, principles or cause and blasphemy, which is an impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.

I am planning to make heretics and such.. is this a good idea?

The Inquisition was a powerful office set up within the Catholic Church to root out and punish heresy throughout Europe and the Americas.

The term Medieval Inquisition covers these courts up to the mid-15th century. During the Late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, the concept and scope of the Inquisition significantly expanded in response to the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation.

Well, we have 30 years war, heretics (lutherian) with help from some nobles against hipanic empire (charles V)
Is not far away from what we will have at the game.
Maybe make religion usefull till late 16th century.
After that, illustration vs monarchy would be interesting
