Current Abode of Peace:
+1
Gold and 
Faith in Holy City for every 2 followers of this Religion in 
City-States.
Your resting point for
Influence with City-States following your Religion is increased by 35, and their Quest rewards are increased by 25%.
Current Orthodoxy:
Religion spreads to Cities 25% further away.
Pressure doubled to friendly City-States, and tripled to foreign Cities connected via 
Trade Routes.
(Note: these modifiers stack additively, which means pressure to friendly CS with trade route is +300%, or 26 in Standard speed, assuming no other modifiers.)
Orthodoxy trades direct yields for passive spread power. First actively spread to a group of CS, and they will form a stronghold of pressure source on each other and nearby cities, which can be hard to remove if left alone for a while. Combined with trade routes, this belief can let your pressure convert non-founders and irritate founders so they need to waste faith on deconversion.
Specifically increasing pressure to CS is out of place for a belief that wants to uniformly spread to everyone though, and more in place with Abode of Peace, which needs this kind of bonus to stay effective.
