I say we go for prophets, Divine Cult looks a little iffy to me. That extra unhappiness just screams rioting.

We need to get to writing ASAP so we don't have to war with everyone everywhere, but it's so far away right now....

What extra unhappiness? The one from non-state religions that won't even spead into our empire? The one we can build inquisitors to remove?

Hang on, I'm gonna start up the game again to make a list of techs for comparison.

EDIT: Alright, here's the civic comparison:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

To be honest, Divine Cult is the best option here. Naghualism is basically tailored towards slavery and divine cult.

As for the techs?
Most of the prehistoric techs are self-explanatory - Elephant Domestication gives us elephant units, for example. Falconry gives us Trackers, who are improved Hunters. Megafauna Domestication gives us Bear Riders, amongst other things. Boat Fishing reveals pearls and sailing enables lighthouses, galleys and beacons.

Ideograms, Board Games and Oratory are prerequisite techs.
Agriculture lets us build farms, Archery lets us build archers, Caste System enables the Caste society civic, Folk Dance and Folk Music increase culture, Naval Warfare enables War Galleys, Fungiculture enables various mushroom-related buildings, Orchards reveals olives and lets us build orchards, Pottery enables granaries and potters and lets us build cottages, Apiculture enables apiaries, Priesthood lets us build temples, The Wheel gives us better roads, Candle Making speeds up workers, Mining reveals various gemstones and lets us build mines, Fermentation lets us build a bunch of buildings, Ancestor Worship increases culture a bit, Dualism would normally found Zoroastrianism, and Divination enables Prophets and the Oracle.

Megafauna. I want my bear cavalry.

[LordSlowpoke]

+1 happiness from a goat farm of all things?

These best be sacrificed.

Also, beeline to whatever's going to give us a library. Isn't that the best SCIENCE! boosting building in the era? I don't even know.

[Karlito]

I'll change my vote to Divine Cult. Unfortunately, slavery was defeated, but maybe we can have a revote sometime. Are we completely unable to use the sacrifice mechanics without the slavery civic?

[Bluerobin]

My votes are for Divine Cult (like always) because it's good for military nations (less war-weariness? yes please) and Megafauna because Megafauna.

Realistically Orchards or something researchy/sciency would probably be better, but I just have a really hard time not suggesting we domesticate what looks like bears, rhinos, and velociraptors (probably actually some sort of big bird) among other things in the icons.

[Neonivek]

The issue with Megafauna is while it is awsome it becomes outdated sooooooooo fast!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Caste System. It's time to get some oppression up in here.

I like prophets still because Great people and also MONEY!

Holy cities still generate money for every religious city, right?

Yeah. But remember, we can only found one religion. Them's the rules, y'know.

Looking at you, Jerusalem.



But anyways, if we spread Naghulism we can get enough money to make economics irrelevant. And we can net some allies, if they get our religion as their state.

[NRDL]

Caste system.

They got around that restriction by getting their holy city razed by the Babylonians and then built a brand new city over top the ruins of the old one. 

[10ebbor10]

That's only 2 of 3 religions though. (THough the third one doesn't really count.)

Also, this mod doesn't now it's plurals. (Domuses, Insulas, and quite a lot of others.)

[Karnewarrior]

We should have the ability to make multiple holy cities. Maybe you get a Great Prophet, and he can make any city a holy one, but he only lasts for three turns or so?
