I don't like having to indoctrinate my population with religion. I'd love to have an alternative in science and culture.
Church VS School
Monastery VS University
The two could be complementary, but instead of faith, "culture" could be introduced, which could take up both faith+intellect resources.
Ps: knowledge institutions could train citizens, making them gain levels in their professions.

Yes, I have it, but I've never been able to get it to work.
But that's not what this column is about.

Could be a cool new Estate path, or later game, round 2 Estate path! I'm not sure what the end goal might be (maybe that's where you get to build the University, similar to the Abbatial Church for the Clergy). Makes use of some Clergy resources maybe (need *someone *to copy all the books needed after all), some Labor resources (gotta house and feed scientists, who might expect better food (using Cooks and Kitchens)), and/or other "advanced" resources (candles, common wares, scientists needing to be Citizens, etc.).
Not necessarily an alternative (though I agree, another such path could be nice!), but could be a cool way to combine them in a somewhat "historically accurate" way.
