good idea; However it won't be easy to balance.

1)Athens generally must have a steady +democracy bonus. So that even if you (a monarchist) want , wont be easy for you to change their political views. In mtw with 2 priests is very easy to change in a region the faith they have. This is not good for the balance. Also, if in lets say cordoba(mtw2 talking) you had 1 priest and temple after 10-20 no muslims exist there! Now it would be crazy to conquer athens and make them monarchist so fast.

2)From the opposite side athens must never have 100% democracy. I mean always there were oligarchists,...
Generally the change must be more slow..

3)MOST IMPORTANT: in a city where meny republicans live must be more friendly to democrats than to monarchists for example. These 'religions'(political views) must not be completely independant but must have relations:
republic close to democracy(++)
monarchy to olligarchy(+)
republic to oligarchy(+)
So if rome conquers athens then athens must adopt more easily republic than monarchy.
