I've captured Great Prophets before and discovered that they retain their (foreign) religion. However, I'd never lost one until last night when despicable barbarians came out of the shadows and took my Buddhist GP. I destroyed the offending barb, but before I could reclaim the GP the contemptible Egyptians rushed in and swiped him!
I quickly declared war on Egypt to punish them (eh, it was time for them to die anyway), but not before my GP disappeared into the countryside along with two other Egyptian GPs. Some neighboring city states were promptly converted to Islam (Egypt). A few turns later, I recaptured a GP... but I can't positively identify him as my original GP (if so, he changed from Buddhism to Islam).
So here's the question: It seems like Egypt was using my GP (Buddhism) to spread their religion (Islam), something not possible for me were I to capture an Egyptian GP. Does anyone know for certain whether GPs change religions once captured by an AI?
