Yeah, it's a good exercise getting into the headspace of someone so different from yourself, isn't it?
I've always been bothered by books where Everyone Knows The Right Religion. It makes a little more sense when the gods walk among people, but even then I'd expect a whole lot of arguments about what they actually MEANT by what they said, etc. And if you've got a lot of gods (never read the Wheel of Time, so I don't know), then I'd expect different groups to focus on different ones. And after a long enough, time, they would forget about/downgrade the others...
