Religion spread to unknown Civ

[stachnie]

v. 32. I know that if I found a religion and there is an AI confined, it appears in its capital (at least when they have no other religion). This makes sense if I have contact with this AI - they find the concept very good and they adopt it as soon as possible, no need for Missionaires. The problem is that it works even if I do not have contact with them. In my recent game I have founded Shamanism, Tengriism (sp?) and a few other religions, after conquering my neighbours I have not contacted any other civ yet but I have seen in WB that Sioux have Shamanism and Mongols have Tengri. IMO this is highly unrealistic. A bug or feature?

The mod by The_J which does this does not check for contact. If a leader has the religion as their favorite religion and they don't found it they get informed of it and have it spread to their capital.
