Think of it like a civilization that practices widespread toleration. They'd prefer if everyone lined up with the official faith, but things just seem to work out better if people are left to practice their religion of choice. And there is at least one reason to weed out foreign religions...

Don't forget the fact that GGs now culture bomb. It's a shame I can't continually burn GGs into golden ages like in vanilla, but it's a lot of fun having so many culture bombs.

Just what are you doing in these sacrifices that generates 100 gold? :nono:

I usually found religions based on how far they are from the traits I pick for them. For example, my version of Daosim involves large religious centers, cathedrals, and aggressive evangelism, while my Tengrism is based on sea worship (the Eternal Blue Sea!) and trade.

So far I quite like the role of religion. It can either be a key component to your broader strategy, or a nice bonus plus flavor you get for little effort, but it isn't all-consuming. Getting Daoism early as Ethiopia gave me the chance to spread it far and wide before most religions were...

Standard, King, Ethiopia, Continents A stele plus stone circles meant I founded Daoism well before anyone else founded any religions. I went with World Religion, Cathedrals, Religious Center (should have gone with Pagodas instead), and Itinerant Preachers, then used my excess faith to build a...
