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.
Why not just either remove priests (or sim.) or make their conversion power much weaker than that of a "temple"?

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.
That seems quite easy to solve (assuming the hardcode allows it): why not have "temples" to Democracy offer 25% Democracy, 10% Republic and 5% Oligarchy conversion, for example?
