I PLAYED A SINGLE ASSASSIN. Does that mean I was the only person asked to do this kind of thing? No. Stop making assumptions based on no experience.

In fact, the reason I was asked to kill the Priestess (amongst a number of other people) was completely down to them being anaethma (sp?) to the religion of the God I was serving.

So, in fact, you have just stated this is religion.

OK. So which bit of the people who were working for me to do this didn't you understand? That is (A) several people, and (B) killing because of the edicts of that god.

Again, you have just stated that this is religion.

No one is disputing this, though some religions will not give you that flexibility.

This is my last post on this topic. I am kicking myself already for wasting time explaining stuff to someone who is arguing from a position of ignorance, who isn't actually taking in what I am trying to say (which incidentally is almost completely, if not completely, corroborated by one of the immortals).
