...But what about all the other gods? 

......When she puts it like that it sounds like a kind of stupid objection but it's hard to think of any other way to say it. Everyone knows about — well, no, that's not true, no one here has heard of any of the gods she knows, except maybe Pharasma. But Asmodeus was definitely real, or something like him, and — the Asmodeans lied about a lot of things, but it doesn't make sense for them to have made up a bunch of better gods that didn't actually exist. If anything they'd have wanted to do the opposite, hide as many of the less terrible gods as they could — and she can imagine reasons some of the gods are made up, but there's no reason to try to convince people that Erastil is real if he isn't.

...His 'god' is actually at least three gods, and it doesn't really seem like anyone is trying very hard to make it seem like they're all the same. People can't be their own sons, that doesn't make sense. And he said that people here pray to Mary a lot, which doesn't make sense if she's just a regular human, even a regular human who never did anything Evil. Maybe it's really important to the Church here that everyone think their gods are the most important, that's not confusing at all, and... for some reason that involves pretending that their gods are all one god and the other gods don't exist?

"...Is it illegal to say that there's lots of gods?"

"No," he smiles a little again, because he does think this is a good thing. "The church and the government are separate and you can say whatever you like about gods."

"I've never met anyone who thinks there's lots, but I'm pretty sure people do in some far away countries."

Saying they're 'separate' could mean a lot of things. The Queen wasn't a priestess, if she even existed, and it seemed pretty clear from the book that the Church's opinions mattered for the government. (Unless the government wanted it to seem like the Church was backing them? But she doesn't think any church would just let the government go around lying about that sort of thing.) ...Though Ms. Wójcicka really didn't seem like she was worried the law would go after her for saying the gods weren't real, so probably the Church here really does have a lot less power than the Church of Asmodeus did back home.

The way these people interact with their gods is still pretty confusing either way.

"But you pray to Mary, even though you don't think she's a god?"
