The AI's automatic faith purchase is pretty much permanently set on "Purchase Missionary."
Even when they take Mosques or Pagodas or Cathedrals; they rarely ever make them. The only religious building they seem to make is monastery; arguably the weakest religious building aside from its cost (I personally think Cathedrals is the weakest, but that's just my opinion). They do this without regards to if there is incense or wine in proximity.
It's even stupider when an AI fills out piety, and then proceeds to use the Great Prophets to convert people, rather than using them for Holy Sites for the +6 Faith +3 Culture +3 Gold ultra tile.
And when I set the game on domination only, Holy Warriors gets taken first except the religion that founded the tenet don't ever, EVER use their faith to actually purchase military units... Likewise when they first reformation Religious Fervor or Jesuit Education and don't use it (I've used IGE to check; they continue constructing universities instead of Faith Purchasing when they have JE). Like seriously, the AI's always been bad, but when it comes to religion it's just at a totally new extreme.
