If religions get researched on the triple by the other teams, it'll take either 8 or 15ish turns for them to complete both. That is time they waste on not getting bronze themselves. If a single researcher of our team "wastes" these turns on researching a tech we will need one day anyways, it takes away a third of those - 3 to 5 - turns of net research towards bronze. These research turns will be on stock for when we want them and it is a reasonable amount of turns risked, to me. If we do get a religion, we'll be at most delayed by 7 turns on bronze, 7 turns repayed by extra happys and culture for our cities. Culture matters not, but happys can do much if we don't find too many triple luxuries around.
