Making civs favore sertain religions?

[Snerk]

Is there any way of making civs favore of founding or having a sertain religion? Like before the game starts India would try a little harder than the other to found hiduism and would prefer it a little more than the other religions as a state religion.

Nothing easy. You could put some functions in AI_chooseTech that could do this sort of thing but its going to be messy.

Right. The best you can do (and this already is done for India vis-a-vis Hinduism and Buddhism) is to make that civ more likely to research the techs that lead to that religion. After that, making civs prefer a given religion with no particular game-driven reason seems to me (a) running against the idea of Civ as "hypothetical history," and (b) will probably cripple the AI, as it would not make rational decisions. If India is 90% Jewish but adopts 10% Hinduism as its state religion, it would be hurting itself.
