In Dragaera 'Gods' exist (like really to general people they are gods) what we call today 'Greek Mythology' was in the past considered Religion, (indeed it is still so to some, but I would guess very few). Ancient Greeks were polytheistic people, I'd say that is exactly how I'd term Dragaera as well, there isn't AFAIK and discussion about Monotheistic groups existing on Dragaera -- probably because there aren't or are very few. From our vantage point the Halls of Judgment isn't necessarily very religious on the face of it, but when you think about the fact that near no one returns from there, most dead bodies (at least those that have someone to do it) are given a rite and anointment before being sent off (this is essentially a religious ritual), and the people on Dragaera choose to believe this is the way of their world with not much 'proof' given to the common man, just to name a few. I'd say choosing those beliefs is an act of religious faith. I would gamble that you could find 100 or more references to religious behavior/beliefs/story relations in the Dragaera books. Point. Vlad interacts directly with a goddess, one he has fealty for, and several points are made of how this affects him and his actions. Point. Morrolan (‘nuff said) I could go on.....
