I just earned a pantheon in my newest game, and took the pantheon that added + :c5faith: from every natural wonder. I put down my third city near another a natural wonder, and ... nothing. My new city didn't have the pantheon of my other two cities. So just like the title asks...

How do I get my pantheon to my new city quickly?
 
Three possibilities come to mind, in order of likelihood:

1. If the pantheon lightening bolt is displayed on the city title banner, then you probably need to set a citizen to work the natural wonder tile. It's not enough for the natural wonder to be inside your city's culture borders--you have to actually work that tile. If you don't know how to do that, go to the city screen, open the Citizen Management tab on the top right to display the manual assignment options, and then manually assign the citizen to work the natural wonder tile--but be aware that only a few natural wonders also yield food, so you may stagnate that new city until you build a granary or some other food building that doesn't require a working citizen).

2. If the pantheon lightening bolt isn't there, your new city might be in the process of acquiring another civ's religion. Hover over the city title banner to see what's up there. The pantheon followers seem to be the first to succumb to pressure from other civs. Unless your pantheon followers are in the majority, no pantheon benefits.

3. You don't say whether you've already founded a religion in your capital (I presume not), but once you found a religion, your pantheon belief no longer automatically follows you to new cities--you have to manually spread your religion or wait for pressure to do it for you.
 
I think you just have to wait for it to spread. Shouldn't take that many turns. I assume distance matters as well.
 
I had in fact created a religion by the time I put down the final city. My religion is putting pressure on the city now, will my pantheon move along with my religion?

I really lucked out with natural wonders, both the UlUra and Great Barrier Reef include food production, and the GBR covers two hexs. If I can get the pantheon into the city will I get the Faith :c5faith: bonus from both Hexs of the GBR?

--edit for spelling errors--
 
Yes, on founding a religion, the pantheon becomes attached to the religion, so when it spreads you'll get your pantheon along with other beliefs. The GBR count as 2 wonders so you'll get the bonus twice (it also counts as 2 wonders for hapiness, yay). Interestingly, this pantheon is doubled by spains UA, so if you were spain you could get +16 faith from the GBR alone!
