You tell me, in my short-lived Spanish campaign I had to keep three priests in Toledo and Leon because there were respectively one 3 piety and one 2 piety Imams there and muslim/heretic faith just wouldn't go down... In fact, I tried to kill those guys so often and for so long they both turned ultra-paranoid (+4 or +5 to personnal security), and the Toledo one ended a mystic, convinced that so many assassins were god's way of saying he was right . In the end, even a 18 skill assassin that had dealt with 3/4th of the Moorish royal family had a mere 32% chance to kill the 2 piety one (24% for the 3 piety mystic)... and died trying .

I think it's just easier to build-up faith when you're the underdog than to convert the last remnants of another religion, i.e. those first 20-30% are a breeze, but going from 90 to 98% takes ages. Considering there still are die-hard Stalinists around, I'd say it's pretty realistic
