Mosques are considered the most effective religious buildings at generating Faith. They boost more Faith than all other religious buildings, at the expense of a lower 
Happiness bonus.
Note that you can only purchase a Mosque in one of your own cities which has your religion as its majority religion (i.e., has your religious symbol to the right of its name).
