I didn't see this as often on G&Ks. I'm thinking it has to do with Piety being available from the beginning.
On my current game, the Shoshone went into Piety, but failed to actually found a religion (as in, there were no more religions that could be founded). Despite this, he went on to build Borbodur, Hagia Sophia, and the Great Mosque of Djenne (on a side note, I've noticed the Shoshone are quite the wonder hogs).
Great, Pocatello, now you have a bunch of improved Missionaries and a Great Prophet with nothing to do.
I know the AI is already being criticized for a number of other reasons and I'm just adding wood to the fire, but if Firaxis does patch the AI in order to fine tune and tweak the problems that have arisen in the wake of BNW, it would be nice if they put something in that told the AI to stop all production towards religious wonders if they failed to found a religion. It wastes the wonder and, perhaps more importantly, wastes the time of the AI who built it. Instead of building something useful, they wasted a pile of hammers on a wonder they had no business building.
