While the thread-title may sound like a ridiculous scenario, it happens when I tried this challenge: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=524417
So you are trying to win the game without founding any cities. That's all well and good, but if after 20 turns you pop a faith ruin, you are forced to select a pantheon. I could not choose to ignore it (pantheons weren't going to help me anyway) even with "delay social policies" and "delay promotions" turned on. As soon as I selected a pantheon, my game crashed.
I've included a save for testing. I've tried this in several new games though, and it always crashes as soon as I select a pantheon. I play on a Macbook, OSX Yosemite. In the linked thread, other players talk about having pantheons without any problem. Does this happen only on Macs? Or is it a new glitch that appeared with a recent patch? (thread is a couple years old)
