Religion and Culture flipping

[rjmatsleepers]

How does religion affect the chances of culture flipping another city? Intuitively I'd expect it to be easier to flip a city that had my state religion, but does the game take any account of it or is it all just culture points?

There's nothing documented about this, but a couple of days ago there was a city that might culture flip soon (something like 45% the original nationality), and it went into revolt immediately after I had a missionary spread my state religion there. Probably a coincedence, but maybe not.

I am pretty sure that the book actually talks about this being an effect. Those of the same religion will not use religion as a point against joining your civ. Next time a city is in revolt, you can look at it and it will list all the plusses and minusses about why they like/hate you just like you get from leaders.
