Worshipper criteria

In my last game, I tried, and succeeded, in building every temple and shrine, including the event-built shrines. I did this by friendly to everyone, maintained a good reputation, with maximum traderoutes, and keeping my pop happy and at about 1200--just low enough to not be swamped by clan split events.

But in hindsight, I'm still not sure which of the things I did actually helped increased the number of worshippers (which is needed to support temples). For example, at one time I had almost all of the clans (excepting Colymar) as my allies. That didn't seem to have a lot of effect on worshippers, though. I've also noticed that thralls and children don't seem to worship.

Does anyone know the actual criteria for increasing worshippers?
