It would also be really interesting if, down that plot line, it opened up the option to allow our cults to syncretise with one another. That's essentially when two faiths decide that their core belief systems don't actually contradict one another critically and people can walk both paths. We have heavily emphasized the "be good to one another" part of our faith over the anti-theist side. A theist church who embraces humans as the expression of god's goodness on the earth and focused on being good to other people could create a situation where someone could consider themselves a theist pilgrim or a pilgrim theist. It would be cool to have some degree in overlap between our followers, though our faithful would likely be one or the other, having devoted themselves to a specific path.
