Seek the Horizon NEW TENET: (+1 Unit Vision & Bonus science making discoveries.)

Is the unit vision a permanent bonus, or is it a temporary one that trigger when making a discovery ?

If I remember correctly, that also include the territories, is it not ? But yes, it seem to be a good idea to move away from the ports for this early food boost, as the other bonuses are more or less instant. (It also make more narrative sense... BUT, when could be more daring and have pops cost less for maintenance, as one very late technology do, which would make even more sense. By how much ? -5% ? I dunno.)

Feats of the Faithful NEW TENET +35 experience on units and a small healing bonus while in a territory converted by your state religion. (Also adds a chance to add the statuses: Celebrating or Patriotic in cities if you disband a Unit with >0 exp. ~ 11% chance for every experience level.)

This is a great idea ! Altough, I have some doubts about the disbanding aspects. I know nothing about coding, but it might be complicated to do ? Just a thought though.

Theocracy NEW TENET (refund gov civics & lock out irreligious) 0 religious conversion.

I think you meant, "0 foreign religion conversion" ? I am a bit dubitative about making the theocracy part of the religion screen per say, as I would find it more logical to have on the civics screen. That would mean that once a religion is adopted officialy by more than one player, it's really hard locked : no going back, their will never be religious mixity and new changes.

I would suggest something a bit more "organic" : for each religion follower in a civilisation that follow this religion, you have a bonus in stability or money, or influence, but some kind of bonus. But, if said religion follower is in a civilisation that do not follow it's religion, their is a stability penalty. If a civilisation have such a tenet, it would also mean that the more "infidels" or "pagans" you have, the more unstability you might have.

I suppose the removal of the "raise monuments" is understandable. When it was available, it was always my choice, just because "science". I do wonder if it's not some kind of capitulation however, to not be able to find ideas as attractive as just "more science". That being said, I don't have better ones.

For something a bit more powerful later in the game, how about +5 food in the City Center and -10-20% Population Food Consumption? 

Not sure on ideal scaling on that but that's interesting.

Maybe for scaling -2% food consumption per Holy Site in the city? Not like Machu Pichu needs to be any better though >.>

Any overhaul of religion and beliefs should add both a leader belief and a founder belief. And then probably change one of the tiers (probably tier 3 or 4) into population based bonuses so you are incentivesed to spread your religion 

I don't want to over step any possible plans Amplitude has on this but I think with the way the game works a leader might be less optimal than, perhaps, having a "Holy City" declared after you choose the final tenet. That might lend itself to more events based on being the steward of the Holy City. Maybe you get events that represent internal pressure for various religious civics or actions? Anti-alliance fervor of the irreligious or non-faithful if you chose those civics perhaps. As a reflection of your ideology perhaps.
