Take Eretzism and Enweil, for example. Not too long ago, the faith died because all the priests had left/paused, turning all of Enweil pagan. Qyrvagg priests were in the meanwhile converting regions, though, and using RTOs (regardless of Eretzism or not). Will Enweil adopt Qyrvaggism because Eretzism died? Obviously not, they just had someone found the faith again.
So when one unoriginal, state-sponsored religion died, it got replaced with a duplicate of itself. So the status quo stayed the same, as if it had never died in the first place.

What we need are fewer religions overall. Not more religions replaced by carbon copies of their failed prior incarnations.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
