In my current campaign Ive been going for an atheist/agnostic tone. My campaign is set in 1373, about 20 years after the Godswar. People are pretty much disillusioned with the gods/religion; some have seen their churches become corrupt, while others have lost all faith in a god that could be thrown off heaven and made to squable on the material plane. One of my players is playing a Kelemvorite who has lost her faith, and has been cast out of the church. So as a DM I think it makes for great storytelling to deal with this internal/philosophical struggles. In my campaign the gods are real, but many of them are real as* holes. The gods are on a PR campaign because they realized during the Godswar that their power is tied to their worshippers; treat them like sh*t and they'll abandon you. AO, the overgod, probably has a special place for those who have lost their faith, and while the gods may not know what happens to these 'atheists', AO probably does.</blockquote>
