It's kind of weird that G&K has no "state religion" or "dominant religion". It's not used anywhere and there is no data structure to hold it. Cities have a dominant religion, but civs don't (they can have a "founded by" religion...but that religion might not even exist anymore).
In Éa, your civilization can have a dominant religion. Roughly speaking, it is the religion followed by >1/2 of your citizens (if any).
Dominant religion will be displayed in the diplo list. It will have diplomatic consequences: Aŋra is hated by everyone else, but Azzandarayasna isn't particularly tolerant of pantheistic religions either, and all religions favor other following the same religion.
A civilization will fall if its dominant religion becomes Aŋra (even if you don't want that; remember that a civ can fall two other ways as I described above). When a civ falls, all of its Azzandara cities become Aŋra. The "fallen" state is irreversible (at least for now...) even though dominant religion could change again.

Spoiler :
I say "roughly" because it hard to calculate exactly that with available functions. The exact calculation works like this:
loop through all cities
if city has a majority religion (i.e., the religion displayed on map) then
religion_points[majority religion] = city population
end loop
if religion_points for any religion is >(total population / 2) then that becomes your dominant religion
The Weave of Éa gets special treatment because the pantheistic cults are really a subset of it. It is possible for a specific cult to become dominant, but you won't go to a "no dominant religion" due to cults. For example, if 2 of 7 cities are The Weave and two more cities follow a cult (or two different cults) then the civ would still have The Weave as dominant religion. If any one cult is major in >half cities then the cult would be dominant.
Also, a fallen civ will never have Azzandarayasna as "dominant religion", even if it meets the condtions above.
