Is there anyway to make an atheistic state in Civilization IV?

Basically, is there anyway to stop your civilization from gaining a religion. I know you could avoid signing open borders agreements with nations to stop their missionaries, but cities with no religion tend to quickly adopt the religion of the nearest city that has one (regardless of which CIV it belongs to). Is there a way to absolutely prevent religion in your empire with just destroying your own cities over and over?Is there anyway to make an atheistic state in Civilization IV?

Keep your state religion to none, and change your civics to Theocracy, because it prevents the spread of non-state religions. Only thing is you'll need the Theology tech to enable Theocracy, unless you're completely isolated, some religion would have spread into some of your cities.
