Interfaith Dialogue - How powerful is it?

[prince_caspian]

Does the ability only work in foreign cities or can you gain science through your own cities? In my current game I'm being overrun by another religion who grabbed religious texts. There's tons of pressure pouring in from every side against my religion. Could I use my missionaries on my own cities to generate science?

If your own city is of another religion then you will gain beakers when a missionary spreads AND not convert it at the same time.

I once captured AI missionary which adopted Interfaith dialogue.
I used it on my capital which had my own religion, and got science boost

Does this belief apply to Great Prophets ? Also what enhancer would u prefer with interfaith dialogue, +25% conversion strength or 30% cheaper missionaries.
And my final question, do u really think 300 faith is worth the 2-3 less turns in research ?
