[GS] Extra religious pressure

[fox456]

I'm learning that religious pressure can be annoying and to understand it better, I added a mod that shows some city stats in regards to pressure. I looked at the civ that is pounding me with apostles and they have several of their cities producing +4 religious pressure. I thought only the Holy City could produce that much pressure.

Five out of 7 of their cities are producing the +4 pressure. (The other two cities just produce +1). Upon closer inspection, it appears that four of those have Holy Sites while the fifth is the Holy City and automatically yields +4 religious pressure. Is there some policy or mechanism that boosts religious pressure in this way? I have searched many places but haven't found an answer.

Is this civ suzerain of Jerusalem? Their bonus is it makes all of cities with Holy Sites give pressure like they're Holy Cities.

Also there is a double pressure belief
The basic religious stats should show it well enough without a mod

@Kmart_Elvis
Wow, you got it! The civ IS suzerain of Jerusalem. I thought something had to be modifying their cities, but I certainly didn't think of a city-state. I haven't seriously been playing Civ VI for long, so thanks for solving that mystery for me.

@Victoria
I was also thinking that a religious belief was causing the double pressure, but I couldn't find one. The closest I could find was Scripture: "Religious spread from adjacent city pressure is 25% stronger. Boosted to 50% once Printing Press is researched." Which one am I overlooking?

Ah no, that’s the one I was thinking of only 25%... apologies
