Here is a silly question, where do you manually buy this stuff? The only place in the menu I could find that would let me spend faith was the automatic spending menu. Which sucks cause it doesn't know where to put monasteries et cetera.
Yeah I cant find this either.
A great way to go is liberty for free, and early 2nd Great Prophet for enhancing your religion. That gets you the enhancement early enough for good beliefs to be left. Then generate maybe 1 more for spread, add in a misisonary and thats enough unless you went tithe or world church. If you went Religious texts you can just create a line of cities with your religion and outpower the others.
That way the liberty gp does not pollute main gpp pool, and once you turn off auto GP purchasing you can get early, and cheap missionaries or early buildings. A lot more bang for early faith buck, then I let itt stickpile for late game GS and GE.

You have to be adjacent to the city hex (ie - in the first ring of 6 hexes around the city). Just being adjacent to a border isn't going to cut it. You have to cross the border to do your job. He's got high enough movement that you can just step in and spread immediately. If they are at friends status they won't gripe about trespassing either.

...Just had an AI Civ use a GProphet to spread their religion to my Capitol (and Holy City) and to my second cityso now I have to generate another GProphet to convert my own cities back to my religion! ...
While an Inquisitor would get rid of the other Civ's Religion, I now have only 2 Followers of my Religion in my Capitol and 2nd City, which is less than 50% of their population, and the cities would not be shown with My Religion (perhaps just my Pantheon).
I could use 2 Inquisitors & 2 Missionaries, but they cost 210 Faith each, for a total of 840 Faith, and my next GProphet comes at 800 Faith. The GProphet eliminates the heathens from my cities and converts enough followers in each city to make the majority my religion, and it gives me a chance for payback on the offending Civ!

Some guy was sending one of those around in my multi-player game... I attacked it and it became mine!!!!
You can't. Once you used the first use of your Great Prophet to spread religion, you can no longer use it to enhance or build a Holy Site.

yes, I like to remove Prophets and missionaries that aren't my religion as well. They have no business existing.
I got a 2nd prophet and wanted to build a holy site, how do you do that? I could not find the option. So, I used it instead to spread religion in other cities.
Secondly, how do you get your second follower enhancer/beliefs. I thought things get added as religion goes along or gets more ingrained into the game? I am a noob as far as religion goes that's for sure. Thanks for any help.

I have the same question....
One of the reasons, I am waiting for a MadDjinn video LP, or an LP from a higher level player. There is one by quill18, he plays on King, perhaps he knows or figures it out.

the option should be in the same location as the workers list of tile improvements/other GP improvement. (Ie, in the 'big' window beside the usual list of actions).
Don't forget to not be on a city tile.
Yes, that's where I made my mistake. At the time I had the prophet in the city, instead of on a tile. Next game I'll know what do. Thank you

Apologies if this is a repeat, but I didn't see it mentioned...when it comes to that third GP (or any GP for that matter), a huge perk is that they don't take attrition when inside foreign lands without open borders, making them perfect for spreading your religion into neighboring empires or even just scouting them out.
Also, if you leave an Inquisitor inside your city I believe it blocks the AI from flipping it; I know it prevents Missionaries, anyway.

Just tried this and it worked: an Embarked Missionary can spread Religion just by sailing up to an adjacent coastal tile of a Coastal City, they do not have to be on land! I'm guessing it would work the same with embarked Inquisitors or GProphets, but have tried that yet.
It does, except of course that Inquisitors will only work on your own cities.
