Playing a Standard size Frontier map as the Dutch. I had plenty of floodplains around but I didn't choose Desert Folklore since I loathe not being able to use desert folklore in majority of my cities since the floodplain was surrounded by much larger marsh riverlands. I also knew that happiness would be a problem with my quick settling as opposed to faith generation so I chose sacred waters instead.
Eventually, Arabia picked desert folklore, and I groaned because they had a lot of desert too and they'll eventually spam great prophets to no end. But, as luck would have it, Russia declared war on Arabia and took all the non-capital cities on desert, which wiped out their pantheons on those cities. They still had the capital, so I was expecting that they would found religion eventually, but then Sweden, Russia, and Ottomans that surrounded them all founded a religion, probably a turn before Arabia could have. I think they all used their liberty finisher for it.
