We could also remove Growth handicap so this becomes a way less of a problem, at least on Immortal and Deity;D

I strongly disagree. Under your suggestion, everyone reforms every game. This makes for much less interesting gameplay.
I think I am inclined to agree with @ElliotS - I think this might be an issue of suboptimal AI play creating weird incentives. I also agree with @CrazyG - I think Religions might need to be set individually per map size rather than there being a single easy formula. I think maybe the correct number of Religions does not scale linearly with the number of Civs.

In my experience, in most games at least 3 AIs reform, while I'm usually the 4th and last to reform after inqusitioning and conquering. So I think that part is fine.
As for religious civs, I think they're all in a good place. Ethiopia is usually among the first to found and spreads its religion like wildfire. Spain's borderline OP with its multitude of various strong traits. India in human hands is very good with a guaranteed earliest pick of all religious beliefs and a possibility to go two out of Fealty/Churches/Ritual or Scripture to really overwhelm the map with its passive spread, I just wish the Indian AI was a bit better protecting its cities with inquisitors. Byzantium has the most flexibility when it comes to religion and a very strong UU to complement its religious game.

No. Do you really think that getting 15% is so easy? It is not.
That is true for sure, but harder to do as far as i understand. It sure does not scale lineary because on larger maps with default number of cities players have more cities. On Standard you have 6-9 cities with 8 players, on Huge default number of players is 12 and you can easily fit 15 cities i guess. I've seen AIs having 40
Good point. I generally play on small maps, so my thoughts on spread are biased by that.

Remember that balance for larger maps should be done with extra civs. But G usually debugs in standard size.
The number of followers required for reformation must depend on the number of religions. If having 5 religions requires 20% of the world population following, having 4 must require 25%. Reformation bonus came in recent releases at approximately the same time as the enhancing.

On a different note: I really like VP and want to teach some others how to do better at it, as well as maybe learn myself. One thing I think really helps the learning process is comparison. If someone tells you "X is good", that's... okay, but you can't really grasp the mechanics of it sometimes. If someone tries X, and another person tries Y, and you can compare the results, you can see for yourself "huh, this is why X is better!".
So my idea was: I generate a save, and myself and another player both play the first 90 turns (about a quarter of a full game, and IMO normally when a religion is founded). Then we can compare what we did, explain our choices, see who did better, and look at why. Ideally this would work best if it was a player either noticeably stronger or weaker than myself, as it makes comparison better.
Is anyone interested? A sort of shared photojournal, I guess.

1. Is it that hard, though? And should it be easy?
2. The AI does, unless it’s one of the high flavor faith civs.

But those are exactly the civs who found and have faith bonuses...
Conceptually a hard reformation is okay, if you can plausibly win without a reformed religion. The reformation beliefs are extremely powerful. If you found but don't reform, you might be worse off than someone who didn't found a religion, because reformation beliefs are often stronger than a founder + enhancer, especially because so many founders do nothing if you cannot spread your religion.
A big difference between human and AI here is that humans tend to go all or nothing on reforming. I'm not peacefully spreading unless I'm very confident I will hit 20%, and the moment I do I'm done spreading, and I don't expect any of those converted cities to remain my religion more than 1 era from now. this is going all in.
If I go nothing, I buy like 2 missionaries, convert my cities, then save all my faith. If I miss Basil I don't reform, I accept that. What I don't do is pump resources into missionaries and faith generation just to beat my head agaisnt a wall of inquisitors. I certainly don't senTemples are built late, and when the industrial era comes around I have a lot of faith saved up, maybe some holy sites too.
The AI seems to always go all in. One thing is they continue to spread after they already reform. Sometimes you do get more yields, but there aren't that many. With a founder such as hero worship or the WLTKD one, what is the point? You might get 1 vote if you win (you won't, I'm just going to build an inquisitor). And they keep buying missionaires in industrial era, when I'm always spending faith on great people (even if I was a spreader)
Also on point #2, in that Portugal photojournal Sweden sent at least 15 missionaries to one of my cities. He sometimes flipped it, but the Aztec would immediately put it back. Between the two of them, it was probably 5,000 faith to try and get one city in the middle of nowhere to their religion. This is why I wouldn't do a spreading strategy, unless I'm just killing everyone. I would have to be able to stop missionaries with military force, because even if I had enough faith, I wouldn't want to spend it on that. Spreading has become expensive.
Neither one of them should really be investing anything in my tiny island city. Both had already reformed. Aztec had no beliefs which rewarded # of cities following. In my games it appears that all AI are spreading their religion as much as possible.

Basically what CrazyG said. Your claim that the AI does know when not to spread seems very contrary to my experiences. Last game I had America throwing walls and walls of missionaries at my vassal, egypt. Egypt was buying inquisitors of my religion, getting tons of pressure from my cities, and getting hit with a missionary of mine every now and again. It was a horrible idea and he just wouldn't stop.
I actually remember using squd of 4 Great Prophets to convert AI in Industial. However that was because i needed votes, not the reformation itself

I could possibly do this. Rather new to the whole VP thing and definitely not a top player of unmodded Civ5 either. Could never break into the Immortal & Diety levels and Emperor was down to pure luck.
So, you could use me as the "this is why this thing is not good" person
Feel free to send me a private message with any particulars (including any additional mods beyond Full VP with EUI) so as to not derail this thread further.
Is Sweden?
Here are the two AI routines for faith purchases. The first one runs first- you'll notice it returns a boolean value. If it is false, the AI then goes on to do city by city purchases (ordered by faith per turn for cities):
AND
The code is annotated pretty well, but I'm open to questions. This is heavily scripted because, well, these are the tools I have to work with from Firaxis. I may be missing a prostrat(TM) here somewhere that you all can see, and I can't. Take a look!

}The code is annotated pretty well, but I'm open to questions. This is heavily scripted because, well, these are the tools I have to work with from Firaxis. I may be missing a prostrat(TM) here somewhere that you all can see, and I can't. Take a look!

How come? It doesn't have any faith/religion bonuses? Wouldn't it be better to save faith for purchasing a GE if it goes tradition etc.?

Is it possible he had a founder belief that he benefited from when spreading like this?
