Faith generation

Do you think it should be eaiser to generate faith at the start? To found patheon...

Now it is simply the race to huts\religious CS - which is luck based.
Maybe to level things up palace should give 1 Faith - alternatively give it after opening Piety.

Not really. It's easy for some (Ethiopia, Celts, Spain with a faith natural wonder), but not for others, which is how it should be. The rush for a pantheon is an interesting aspect of the early game.

If the palace had +1 faith then everyone would have it, and to get ahead you'd still be hunting for huts or rushing shrines.

Opening Piety should definitely give a faith bonus, but building a shrine in half the time (and then getting Organised Religion so that a shrine gives an extra faith) is how that's been done.

Piety is already very weak
Piety opening will be (in most cases ) suicide.

At least small bonus like that would even things up little bit.

Shrine early in build queue has been pretty reliable for me, at Deity. Much less luck based.

Even is boring

You'd make it easier to get a pantheon without having to make sacrifices you might have to now (eg rushing a shrine or two if you can't find faith in ruins). I'm not sure that's a good thing.
