Different religions?

If I am playing as Britain and I capture French or Spanish provinces with Catholic Seminaries, what should I do?

Do the seminaries now start pumping out Protestantism (inc missionaries)?

Should I leave them alone and let the masses have their opiate? As Britain did in Quebec?

Should I destroy the existing seminaries and rebuild new ones?

Not really clear on that one...

they're still converting your people to catholic and you should destroy any religious buildings the second you conquer a region and replace them with your own

Sorry, just a clarification. Who are still converting? The buildings or the existing missionaries?

Thanks.

Thanks Count, I was wondering about this as well.

However, if you destroy them and get Protestant missionaries in, the populace get pissed off. Keep a garrison.

No they keep converting people away form your faith increasing unrest. Destroy them and build your own churches etc to convert the pop to your faith and increase public order and get more missionaries to help covert faster and pre covert places you will be conquering.

Both are converting. destroy the buildings and assassinate the priests.

I usually leave them intact. Once you get the tech that reduces relgious differences by 40% it doesn't really matter more than 1 or 2 unrest points, and it adds some flavor to your empire if there are people of different religion. You also don't have to replace them with otehr religious buildings, but if you industrialize too much your population will revolt.

Well, the existing buildings will give you happiness bonuses for the enemy religion, so even if the place is 100% different, they will give several points of happiness. If this is close to the amount of religious unrest, you could probably leave them for a while and wait for the populace to become friendly with you before destroying the churches/mosques.
