Changing one's mind about not adopting a religion.

[polarnomad]

Is it possible to adopt a religion after I've refused to do so initially?

ie: Hinduism spreads to my cities whilst I have no state religion. The game gives me the option to adopt it as my state religion, and I refuse. Later, I see some benefit of doing so and would like to go ahead and adopt Hinduism. Haven't been able to find a way so far...

Yes. If you go to the religion screen. Just left-click on the religion you want to adopt, and at the bottom of the screen the button "Convert" will appear if it's possible for you to convert to that religion. Press it and you will go into anarchy for a turn as you adopt the new religion.

Oddly enough it's on the Religious Advisor screen (F7).

Ok, don't I feel like an idiot... I guess I should consult my advisors occasionally. Hehe

In my latest game I found a civ (Arabs) refusing every kind of religion, making it.. a laicist theocracy? Is it a bug or what?

try to use missionaries en masse on smaller cities, but I don't think the return is going to be very much

If he's got Theocracy going you're not going to accomplish anything.

I wonder if "No Religion" is regarded as your state religion if you adopt Theocracy and don't have a state religion?

I got a better question: How do you unadopt a religion after you've taken it to be your state religion?

Do you just unselect it in the Religious Advisor screen?

in everyone of my games Saladin adopts theocracy and refuses any religion he didn't found. It's just his personality.

padillah,

you either have to select another religion in the F7 screen instead or go to no-state-religion.

No. It's just that someone hasn't been getting enough Johnson in his diet lately.



God. I'm so funny,..

So this is really going to be a problem if you are in the same region
