Red Techs question

[Hamsterman]

New player here. I have a simple question about the red techs in the tech tree. I have so far been able to research one red tech, that which is connected to my first religion tech. However, I do not seem to be able to access the other red techs after researching further religious techs. Is this a design principle, and if so, what is the intent behind it? Also, does this mean that one should be selective in which religious tech you take first because you will lose out on all other red techs thereafter?

Thanks,
Greg
