YES, many civics need to be rebalanced. Maybe not exactly in this way, but many of them now totally useless. Like civic that gives you +1/+1 money/science on common quarter. Even if you have 50 of them (which is VERY huge amount), +50 money/science gives nothing when you have more than 2k of science and 10k of money per turn. And the same thing relates to most of civics. So they totally need rebalance

I agree that civics need tweaks, especially those obtained in the late game. But I still see no use in any of the irreligion options.

Mh... Do you have any suggestion for them?

For Secularism I was thinking to relate it with Money since, nationalizing all the church properties, the state could earn some money for it. About Atheism I was thinking that the government would have transformed Faith buildings into Science buildings in order to educate the population (but this "excuse" is particularly weak).

I like some of these ideas, I also like some of the ideas in the popular mods (e.g. VIP). Agree that the current implementation is unbalanced or not interesting.
