I make no bones about the fact that the Faithful Ones' religion has borrowed from a number of real-world beliefs, including Christianity and various pagan beliefs, especially traditional Christian beliefs in Europe, which integrated ancient pagan customs and beliefs into a Christian framework. There are other influences as well, not just religious, either.
