A handful of Warhammer events which might fit here with tweaks (most don't - no vampires and dark elves and chaos gods in Dune....).
Apostasy
Requires: state religion present in one of your cities.
Some of the faithful have begun to follow false teachings; in doing so they have wandered from the true path. (Removes state religion from the city.)
Inquisition
Requires: non-state religion present in one of your cities, religious mandate tech tech.
Heretics are following alien ideals in our city, shall we:
a) Tolerate their presence for now (+2 unhappy for 20 turns)
b) Root them out. (removes non-state religion, -50 culture in city, -50 gold).
Financial reforms
Requires: guild banking tech.
A notable banker has offered to re-reform our finances to improve efficiency. Should we accept?
a) Yes, let us revise our antiquated system. (-200 gold, -5% inflation).
b) No we're doing just fine.
