Yet, I was able to play D&D for twenty years with joy. Sadly, 5e changed the game.
Then go back to your other editions. Seriously, the worlds tiniest violin is playing for you right now.

The AL is set in the Forgotten Realms, which has specific cosmological rules that require divine magic to be granted by gods. You could not have legally played a cleric of "light" in an FR campaign in any edition. But this seems like a total irrelevancy, since you say you do not play in any published setting. And in any case, if you want the freedom to customize your setting in one way regarding deities, surely others have the same freedom to customize their settings in the opposite way.Strictly illegal. By the way, illegal in AL.
Show me.Too many references to gods everywhere else in the Players Handbook and other core rules.
"People" being "the supermajority of customers."
Calling a setting free, universal system an "innovation" assumes that it is a desirable goal.
Correct.The 3e core rules support nonpolytheistic and nontheistic clerics. Core rules for the cleric class description state: ‘If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, he still selects two domains to represent his spiritual inclinations and abilities.’ And similar statements occur elsewhere.
Incorrect.In 3e, it is normal for a player to choose a nonpolytheistic or nontheistic cleric character.
You don't need official resources to back you up when you decide to ignore something for your own table.For the DM, the 3e SRD as well as other resources make it easy to avoid unwanted setting assumptions.
You sure about that?There are EN World discussions on games other than D&D; so far as I'm concerned, those EN World subscribers are people.
To me it's obvious WotC is choosing inclusivity. If a few gamers quit in disgurst over having to face that their fantasy world is now more like the real world, that's an easy price to pay.

Impossible to play without running into gods.
