Religious atrocities

This was bound to happen but can someone tell me or link me up to the cannon lore of the Selene Region (Preferably a short one)?

I would like to know major religions (if it is not Christian orthodoxy), historical figures, history of the continent my country is located at so I can make the beginnings of a lore based on the lore and. I dunno, several other things that I could be using.

That is If that's not too demanding or an idiot request.
