As a historian of religion as well as a person of religious persuasion, I find none of the Civ games to have an inspired take on religion, but Civ7's is the worst yet and by far my least favorite aspect of the game. Civ6's system wasn't great, but Civ7 managed to remove whatever was interesting or fun and just keep the bad parts like tedious missionary spam and religious victory. I really hope religion gets a deep and profound overhaul in the first expansion.
