I took religious once, in the beta-test game we started before the first release of SEIV. It seemed so unbalanced (once achieved), that I haven't taken it since, largely because I don't want to be despised for spoiling other people's fun by laying waste to them with an ultra-weapon. Certainly not because I don't think it's an ultra-weapon.

The reason I use Religious tech , well, religiously in my games is for one reason only. Nature Shrines. With one building in the system you can accomplish the same task that would require you to build 2 buildings on every planet! The Fate and Time shines are nice but they are other buildings that are either equivilent or superior. Death and War shrines really only help if your fighting defensively. If you're fighting defensively, you're losing.

The Talisman is a super-weapon. But it's at the peak of insanity when paired with an alligience converter. Then it's an uber-super-weapon.
