If anything, remote gods make conflict easier. Good Cleric: I divine that god exists. Since I got this information from a divine spell that does not lie, it must be true. Evil cleric: He lies! He just wants to convert you to his own selfish ends! Aethiest: Both are lying, god dosn't exist. Peasent: All magic is evil, they must both serve demons! Peasent #2: Aww, magic don't exist anyways. All of ya are crazy.  In other words, how often do obviously guilty men go free in the real world, despite the EVIDENCE against them, People can ignore or disagree on facts, and thats even if they agree that the item in question IS a fact. Take the stereotypical ignorant masses from a mideaval society, and large groups will belive what one or two powerful individuals tell them. Proving to the Archbishop of one faith that another god is also real could be impossible in itself, even with magic. He won't take your word for it, and divining the answer himself would be blaspeamy. Even if you did prove it, he certainly won't admit it publicly.</blockquote>
