Can you read the word forest ? elephants don't appear on forest
Is it just me, or do monasteries seem underpowered when compared to mosques/cathedrals?
I'm wondering if it would be a good strategy to choose a crappy follower belief, so other civs don't get good bonuses...

Has there been any confirmation that a civ can choose a "state religion"? Follower beliefs depend on city religion. There is some kind of "state" effect used in diplomacy, but that does not necessarily mean that you have a choice. It could be that "state religion" = "majority religion", or it could be that the diplomatic effects are prorated.
(Unless someone has heard otherwise.)
Since other civilizations will have positive or negative diplomatic modifiers towards you based on what "your religion is," there's got to be some mechanism where you choose one (because you may not necessarily be able to found one yourself). Otherwise there's no point to such a modifier, if you have no choice in the matter.
No, it says purchase which means using gold. missionaries are always available with faith (requires at least 1 follower).
Well, whether there's a button or not, there has to be a state religion for the other civilizations to recognize. Making you play a numbers game to get the state religion you want is possible, but it seems unnecessary... and it smacks too much of micromanagement for the sort of "streamlined" play that Firaxis prefers these days.You have a choice. You can attempt to spread a religion faster by using missionaries, you can also try to get rid of a religion through inquisitors.
It doesn't seem like there will be a ''switch state religion to X'' button. You'll have to work for it.
