Why is one of the religion icons sometimes red?

[Oddible]

And why doesn't the Civilopedia say any of this?

Yeah, I'm searching around trying to find this answer as well...

I can tell you:
If the city joins a religion for the first time, one charge of your missionaries is enough to get both symbols.
If the city already has a religion, you need two charges of your missionaries. One in an urban district, the other one in a rural district.
The red icon is showing that one of it is missing.

Well that isn't exactly it. If a city has two Hindu, and I convert 1 urban and 1 rural to Christianity, both will show the Christian icon, but one (usually the rural) will be red.

No, that is is. You need to convert a rural district (mine, farm, resource etc.) and an urban district.

No that definitely isn't it, I've already converted an urban AND a rural and then the rural remains red. Are you saying I need to convert two rural districts because I've already converted 2, one urban one rural.

You are missing the point. The question is why is the rural symbol still red even after that.

My guess is that it is to show you that the population has been converted at least once. Meaning you can't get a bonus for "first" conversion anymore.

I think it is red when an opposing missionary is over that space. Either urban or rural. But I'm still trying to test this out. I'm not 100% confident on this yet.

Would be nice if there was something like a encyclopedia in the game, maybe a "civlopedia" lol.

Maybe even a civilopedia that said more than just what's in the tooltip and random historical lore that's irrelevant to gameplay.

red means that you dont have full control of religion . it might be 75% yours and 25% someone else

What are you talking about? That random historical lore IS the gameplay! Don't you see the city names they spent many hours googling and figuring out how to type in the accented characters? Are you not entertained?

Its not a bug, there were some txt somewhere i think in the game, that it represents that there is even than its fully converted a minority believing something else, but i aint sure, i have tought and it seems a bit that cpu will come moore eagerly to convert those back, can be just my imagination tough.. i think that when you convert cities early they keep both white, so it has something to do with the fact that the setlement have had multiple convertions, still it doesnt do anything major, when both urban and rural have been converted then it is major no matter if the symbol is red or white.
