I've always wondered as well...

Kristoffer could give a far better response, but as of now here mine

conVersion rate is the value of the power your dominion project against the province you are in, and all provinces adjacent to it. The dominion spread mechanic is akin to a metal plate that you would heat at a given point, with a spreading of temperature. Obviously if you render cold another point on the plate, the two influences would struggle against each other.
In AI coding (and elsewhere surely, but I have seen it mostly here), this is called an influence map for those interested.

temple, god, prophet all spread naturally they conVersion rate, without having to do anything. On the other hand, a priest preaching only apply his conVersion rate against the province he is in. As you see, with 20 more in conVersion rate, the simple fact of moving your god somewhere is like hitting the area with a big wave of worship.

The prophet (especially if sneaky) is very valuable too, because he can spread dominions around him in a manner that sneaky priests cant do, whatever their number.

dunno if it helped, perhaps I said only blatant truths that you already knew.
