You can only pick a certain set of religious beliefs and once you've picked them you can't access the other ones; the only way to get the benefit of the beliefs you didn't pick is to let someone else spread to your cities, which only gives you the follower beliefs and if you didn't want the founder benefit what were you doing creating a religion to begin with?
You can really only expect to get a certain amount of social policies a game; you will certainly never fill out all of them before someone has reached some sort of victory condition. Mercantilism may be a beautiful thing to have, but that's an entire tree of policies you have to get to get to it. You're going to have to delay other things to get to it in a reasonable time frame, and by "other things" I mean Rationalism which is kind of a big deal.
I could go on.
