I've been fond of playing religious nuts lately and I haven't really been able to compensate for the enormous benefit of Free Religions 10% science boost, essentially granting a 1 Tech lead for every 10 technologies researched.
+2 science per religious building seems really good, however, I'm still a little uncertain if the benefit equals Free Religions 10% boost or if it ever can. Since Free Religion essentially makes University of Sankore useless it seems like I'm locked into it's strategy if I ever want to continue along my religious-nut ways. In addition I go for the Spiral Miranet as well.
So my question is : Is there some sort of threshold with the amount of religious buildings that can actually match Free Religions science benefit? I'm usually going for Religious victory these days and forcing my religious will unto others so I'd really like to stay converted to one religion and use the Spiral Miranet economy to my advantage.
