Religious conversion only helps from a loyalty perspective if you've founded a religion (it might help if it's your majority religion, but I forget). Loyalty has no effect upon conversion rates - they're independent mechanics.
I was under the impression that Writing on the Wall was a capital mainly because it didn't appear (or I thought it didn't appear) in Archduke's deal screen. However, I had a similar problem in PBEM 15 where none of Japper's cities appeared in the list. I got a definitive answer by looking at the domination victory score screen - no one's captured a capital yet. I'd say there'd be a notification but I didn't see one when Woden took Kaiser's capital in PBEM 18 (not a spoiler, we all know he did it ) The comment about the deal screen notwithstanding, Open Government is his capital. You get a city list, in the order of founding/capturing, when you mouse over a civ's icon on any of the GP tallies. Open Government is listed first and it's the city in the fog due west of Writing on the wall (it's the English territory on the left side of my second T86 screenshot). Eh, I'll learn...eventually.
