Maybe you could change the religion question to ask a more historic related one, such the Reformation of Zwingli. Or maybe if you want to keep this one (which tbf I don't find tremendously interesting) you could try to give some historical context in the post-game explaination.

Just a suggestion :)

Agreed. Starting with a question about religious stats or the mayor of the town for such a city is a bit disappointing.
