Let's say this this gives you a good chance to get a Religion but it's hardly guaranteed unless you're playing at the default Prince difficulty.Getting a religion is actually pretty easy if you make sure to focus on early holy site and shrine. You can then do a project as needed to guarantee.
So I cant seem to be able to found a religion in time. I am always so close but short. Example, I am playing as Norway on Epic, Huge map, 14 civs on king difficulty.
I always go for the holy site tech right away and beeline it. Next, I choose the +1 faith God King policy. Next, while that city is building the site, (usually takes about 28-33 turns) I found another city and repeat the same thing with the new city.
By this time, I have my pantheon and there are usually 1 or maybe 2 religions founded already. And ill check my great prophet points and ill be at like 1/180 and there are always about 4/5 other civs with 90 points already. I am usually about turn 80 or so, estimated. BY the time I get to 180 all religons are gone. IM like what the heck?
So, any tips on what I could be doing wrong? How do you all ensure you have a religion? Thanks again, I appreciate it.
Sidenote, ive already restarted this game 3x trying for a religion, is important that Norway gets one?
You don't need Stonehenge (and will never get it on Deity).

You have to remember to protect yourself from barbs if you rush like this, so don't take your first few units too far from home.
Just tried it with the same settings and I have to say it's really painful. The big number of civs and the fact that Norway has no boosts to getting a religion makes it difficult. It didn't help this game that I had 3 barbarian horse units around my city around turn 10 either and it definately took a lot of focus to get the religion in decent time. I got it at turn 122 and I was the fourth civ to get a religion. The good beliefs like feed the world and jesuit education were already gone though so I don't know if it's worth it, I got the belief with +1 housing for shrines and temples. By this time I had 6 cities (one of them conquered, one of them from a stolen settler) and no world wonders.So I cant seem to be able to found a religion in time. I am always so close but short.

With Norway I'd say if you can get Stonehenge then try and get that. With feed the world, the stave church becomes really strong. Otherwise just let religion go. Even if you do get one then the beliefs that make it worth it are probably long gone. Better to focus on getting an early navy (2 galleys into shipbuilding into a quireme (?) then conquer a city state or something).
