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.

Civilopedia entryEdit

The mosque serves as the traditional place of worship for the followers of Islam. The largest mosque in the world, the Masjid al-Haram was built in the city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, around 638 AD. Also known as the Grand Mosque, the Masjid al-Haram encompasses the holy site of the Kaaba, the most sacred of all locations in the Islamic religion.
