I was just curious, is there a way to change your religion back to your custom one?

Pericles the ass hat decided to send about 5 apostles at once and turned Sparta to Hinduism lol.
Now all of my apostles etc are "Hinduism" when recruited.

That and Pericles is 3 quarters of the way to a religious victory, so if there's no way to either get rid of religion all together or revert back, it's holy war time.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... Tokimune turned France to Buddhist lol.

Wow, damn AI. I find it kind of frusturating there's no way to make an Athiest faction, or is there? because if it's this easy to just have your entire civ turned, I'd rather just not deal with it at all.

If there is, I haven't found it yet. I had a new Civ and just gave up. Founded a pantheon, but I passed on the great person that is required for religion. Rome turned my Civ to Catholic, fine by me. I gave up on religious victory. Built a massive army and got to the nukes and coverted all the other civs that way! LOL

I keep ending up with cultural victories, even when I don't try. It just pops up, "You win" lol. For now I'm just turning religious victory off as it is way too easy to lose because of it and it's really quite bad in place of diplomatic victory.

Just had a thought aswell, but if your cities are converted to, as you said, Roman Catholic, and you wipe out Rome, does Catholic then become your religion or just get wiped from existance?

I wasn't able to get a religion last game so decided to conquer Arabia religion. It just disappeared from the game when i took his city.

Ah, so I guess that's the only way to unconvert you're cities in the meantime lol.

some things to consider.

even though your capital has been converted to a different religion, and that capitals holy center will produce units from the religion it was conquered to. you can create units (of your religion type), if you have a holy center of your religion, in a different city. if all of your cities have been converted.. you are SOL. so best advice. is to have at least one of your alternate cities (or more). have a holy center just incase.

keep an eye out. if you see thier missionaries or apostles coming.. and coming in strong. and you don't have a backup city holy district, or back up missionaries/apostles of your religion somewhere.. declare war first, ask questions later. its much easier to repair warmonger, than it is to restart.

always.. always. build 2 or 3 apostles of your religion, and safely tuck them away in your safest city, or link them with some strong units and move them to a safe area of your map.

use time to your advantage. holy pushes from AI, after time.. will calm down or even stop. usually in late game. early to mid, an over zealous religious civ will push hard. late game, not so much.

have a small team of apostles ready on the go.. for religious war. so you don't have to declare formal war (or surprise war). to stop the flood.

block your city. surround your capital.. with units. kinda over the top, but a good last resort.

in civ 5 you could put an inquisitor in your city. not sure if this is doable in civ 6.

conclusion:

you can stop he horrible AI mass bible bombing you. you can prevent the surge or wait it out. or.. you could just nuke the fkers and be done with it.

all the best.

Good advice, after a couple of games it's not too hard to safeguard your religion, just a tad annoying.

Agree with @OZFugasi, if all your cities are converted, there's no hope. As soon as you see apostles or missionaries start coming in from another Civ, create an apostle and have him declare an inquisition. Inquisitors are cheaper than apostles, but they can do theological battles and get rid of the foreign apostles. Inquisitors can also go into your cities and clear out heretics.
